Ironman is Easy...Shoveling Snow is Hard!

We have just been hammered with snow the past three days. Friday, I came home to find knee high snow at the end of my driveway. I shoveled for a solid 90 minutes to finally clear a path to the road from my garage. Even then, it was like an off-road ride. The shovel is crappy plastic and doesn't cut down to the pavement. It's just as well, the snow was pretty freakin' heavy without the added weight of the ice below.

Today, it's really cold and windy. Blizzard like conditions. They've shut down highways, and Kent County isn't sending their trucks out until late Monday afternoon...It's Sunday, for cryin' out loud!

I managed to clear the driveway again this morning, and I'm planning my second workout of the day. The handle on our shovel broke this morning, so it takes solid technique to operate. Only the truly skilled - such as myself - have even the slightest chance of operating it properly.

This week, I'm buyin' a snow blower!
