It’s still snowing.<\/p>\n

No it’s not, look at the date. There is a bright ball in the blue sky. It is very cold. Today is snow blowing day<\/p>\n

I just did my walk outside to the end of the driveway. Yes I wore traditional clothes. Jeans, bathrobe, knit hat and gloves.<\/p>\n

I swept the solar panels and observed the tons of snow I would have to move today.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Yup that is a full size garbage can<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Log pile be seeing you later<\/p><\/div>\n

OMG exhausted had to take a break. That is the hardest snow to move ever. Except for that ice storm three years ago. I still have at least three more hours out there. When I\u00a0 couldn’t walk anymore I had to quit. I am resting on the couch gathering the strength to finish the job. Breathing is difficult, and my nose is a little runny, my heart hurts a bit, but I don’t think COVID-19. God I hope not men my age don’t survive that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The worst is not yet done. This was three hours of work<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Frozen I am covered in a layer of ice.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Yet to do 10 feet wide 2 feet deep. Higher than the machine. And I have to push it through it doesn’t have enough traction to get through.<\/p><\/div>\n

Did that got the sweaty t shirt. 3 more hours out there 6 total. Holy body hurts everywhere especially my back. And now the fun part I am out of firewood and it will be -22 tonight. Yup I needed to clear snow off the logs, chainsaw, transport, split and transport again all before dark in wet clothes yippee!!!!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The part at the end, the grader operator will have to get that.<\/p><\/div>\n
