Two Shoveling Sessions Later

Well, we've gotten the big winter storm that was forecast for the latter half of the weekend, as it's dropped about a foot of snow on us so far. Vicki and I have already been out twice to shovel the walkway up to the house, and one car width of our double-car driveway. Now, that won't mean anything if the street isn't plowed, because there's no way our car will make it through the mess that's waiting for us at the end of the drive. But at least we're doing what we can to be ready for the time when the street gets cleared, whenever that might happen.

Of course, the snow still continues to fall as I write this, but leaving the shoveling longer than we have would've meant a much tougher job in the end. As it is, we've done two sessions of less than half an hour each, and mostly pushed the snow out of the way, with as little lifting as possible (we're not getting any younger, after all).

Now it just remains to be seen as to whether tomorrow will be a Work Day, a Snow Day, or a Work At Home Day!
