when snow sits, it gets hard - if not frozen. But try and explain that fact of winter weather to a lazy person...yeah, good luck with that. The storm that came through January 7th was about typical for a significant winter storm; there was 6 inches. Having a long driveway, it took about 10 hours worth of shoveling. Any more than the normal 6, will just call for a plow. i have one of those ergo-shovels, which is basically a manually operated mini-snowplow - otherwise, uh, no way could i handle a some 100 foot driveway. And there's other shoveling: the walkways, the concrete pad, and a wide path down to the pole-barn and woodshed.
Thankfully, dan'l-boonin is not primary source, just a backup, to take the chill out - that is, if there's not noreaster/high wind activity. Of course, when working outside, gives me a chill when coming inside. Later on, when the low pressure/winds are out of here, will lay a fire - in the meantime, there's something called warm clothing.
And yeah, it's not easy to find warm, practical feminine clothing. Oh yeah, for sure, there is a reason for that - can ya spell "up draft from below!" And it smells like rotten eggs. But that's another post.
Anyway, time to get back, want to get done.
