That's government mandated cardio is what that is. They're just looking out for your ticker juan. So smile, grab your shovel, and know that your municipal government loves and values you enough to make you go huff and puff in the snow.

Personally, I don't mind shoveling. Which, for someone with fibromyalgia is a bit odd, no? But I like it, I honestly do. And my kids are PSYCHED that we're finally getting enough to start turning the front yard into a fort for them and their friends to play in. It will mean turning two yards into one giant playground for the neighourhood. Winter has it's good points. :smile:
"This is typical of climate change in that we begin to see odd weather more often, especially displayed in extreme storms and more of them. Isn't that what's been predicted by people like David Suzuki?"
Oh yeah. It's been snowing for 5 days straight here. I've got freaking 20 inches, 50 cm, in my yard right now. This is expected in February, NOT December. Odd, indeed.

You guys are so lucky to have snow. We are having a second mild winter, and it's simply disgusting. One day we have a nice heavy snowfall, and everything looks nice and beautiful and white and clean, and the next day the temperature rises, and the snow melts, and we've got lots of puddles, and everythings looks bleak, and all the roads are wet :angryfire: One day it's winter, the next day it's spring.
And I really miss that good old Russian winter...

I rather like snow that stays, too. I love snowshoeing in it and like shoveling, also. It is miserable to snowshoe in slush. Last year we had a more normal winter. We probably had about 210 cm around here. Snow is arriving at a normal time of the year again this year. (Um, I don't shovel the entire 3200 square meters of our driveway, but more like 15 or 20. 
Some dood named John Deere does the rest.)

In one dump we had more snow than we got all of last winter. It's fun to tease my parents, though, who live about 300 miles south of here and get three times the snowfall we do - yet my grass is green all summer, where theirs was like a Brillo pad about mid-July. Figure that one out....
Woof!
Woof!
I don't mind using the shovel[much!]Spent a good hour this morning doing the walkway and thesidewalk between my house and the next. I could have done without the freezing drizzle tho. I'm hoping that we'll have some for christmas..the last 4 or 5 years were green.
We had well over a foot of snow on Sunday but it is pretty much all gone now. It warmed up to 12 degrees or so and rained for two days and all my shoveling is down the drain. I wish we could get the timing a little better.
PS - Karrie, I think I prefer a gentle aerobic exercise to lifting big shovels of wet snow for an hour and a half.......;-)

Nice pic Hermann,
Methinks you will know all about winter by the time the rock is clear of snow come spring.:lol:
We have as much snow in our little corner of the swamp now, as we had all of last year. I don't shovel however; use one of those scoops (like a mini dozer - real mini), runnerup on the pile and dump it. Seems to be good exercise, unlike shoveling, which can cause heart attacks, so I'm told.
Hey, only 4 months to go.............:roll:
