I started shoveling the driveway at 5am. I left for work and got outside of town and decided to come home. Another day off work due to inclement weather. I spent the entire day shoveling and snowblowing the driveway. I lost track of the number of trips out after #6. My area got at least 8" of snow. Here's what The Homestead looked like after the second to last cleaning.
The snow pile is taller than the bushes
and almost as tall as the lamp post!
This pile is about 5 feet tall and 10 feet wide
By the end of the day, I was so exhausted and sore! The upside? My pedometer said I walked over 17,700 steps and walked almost 6 miles just shoveling snow!
Until next time,
I didn't even think to wear my pedometer, lol. Good to know just how hard we worked today. Did you have to shovel an area for Celeste? We always had to shovel half the back yard for Snickers.
ReplyDeleteWow that is a lot of snow, we are having an indian summer at the moment, next weekend back up into the high 90's sighhhhh
ReplyDeleteO my goodness--that was not a fun snow day :( hopefully the snow will stop!!! Have a restful night.

Okay, I love the snow but this is getting to be a little much!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of snow, we did have a lot of snow mixed with rain and ice last Thursday and it was pretty heavy but shoveled my driveway.

I didn't drive in to work today either Meari. The local school district called off in anticipation of the snow to come during the day, so I stayed home with them. The piles on either side of my driveway are just as tall as yours.
ReplyDeleteThe boys and I didn't shovel until 2pm when we had about 5" and I think we got another 1 1/2" after that, but it does seem to be done now (almost 9pm).
Yikes, that's a lot of snow. I'm exhausted just reading about all your shoveling! I hope your springtime comes soon!
ReplyDeleteWow! You got an awful lot of snow, stay warm. Winter is almost done
ReplyDeleteohh too much snow..well i love snow so much.. i wish i can see that much snow in real one day..

Good grief..you never need to go to a gym in wintertime! Hope it blows over soon. (Sorry..couldn't resist that pun!)
ReplyDeleteCarolyn
That is a lot of snow!!
ReplyDeleteThat's why we live in Arizona! Seriously it's pretty but I could never handle all that shoveling.
ReplyDeleteAt least you got a good workout while shoveling. Hopefully that's the last snowstorm for the year!
ReplyDeleteI love snow, but we don't get anything like that here! But I can see that after a while it might get a bit much :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see yet another interpretation of the Hardanger projects -- would you be happy for me to put them in the SAL Gallery? They's make a lovely colourful addition; I don't think we have many yet with coloured Kloster blocks!

Yes, that is a good upside. By the way, one of those gloved hands up there is mine. ;)
ReplyDeleteMeari that is a lot of snow! I am glad that we did not have to deal with it this winter.
ReplyDeleteTara
MOVE! Sell your house and buy one with a flat lawn and driveway! LOL
ReplyDeleteJudith Truly in OH
wow! you have lots!!
ReplyDeleteBlimey! That is snow and a half lol.
ReplyDeleteYou are quite welcome to it as I would like to see the bright yellow round thing in a nice blue sky any time now :-)
I don't envy you having to shovel snow. I'm glad everything here just shuts down when it snows!
ReplyDeleteHappy Trails,
Pam K. :o)
Yuck! that means more rain here probably. Thought that THAT HOG saw his shadow? LOL
ReplyDeleteBe careful and stay warm.
Hope you have a good project to work on!

I am with you there, winter can't go away fast enough for me. We are looking at another Nor'easter for tomorrow going into Friday with predicted 6-8 inches of snow --- AGAIN!! I am tired of seeing snow, and rain.
ReplyDeleteDusty
Meari - I feel your pain! From my snowy corner to yours! -- --Bea--
ReplyDeleteOh, you poor thing--I can't imagine all of that shoveling!! At least you'll have some lovely looking muscles to show for it :)
ReplyDeleteDear Meari I feel tired just looking at all that snow. It looks so beautiful but I am sure you are sick of all the extra work it brings for you.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine having to deal with that much snow even once. I hope your weather improves soon.
ReplyDeleteJust catching up, since I left on vacation on Feb 22. Just when the snow started piling up on you! Great job on JG, you may finish it yet! And good luck with the surger. We did miss the snow of the season while we were gone. So our daughter's boyfriend got to plow our drive. The bad news? Our furnace went out and we have to put a new one in tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteYou did shovel a great deal of snow!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is Wow! I hope you had your ICY HOT ready!
ReplyDeleteHopefully after all that work you were able to sit & relax in a hot bath.
ReplyDeleteBetty in AZ (ILCS)
