In the pre-dawn hours of Monday morning, I finally finished digging out my car. It was quite enjoyable shoveling in the moonlight. When the sun finally rose, here’s what my car looked like, followed by a shot of one of the main streets in the neighborhood.
It’s now 4:00 p.m. and I have finally given up shoveling for the day. I’ve been at it off and on for almost 10 hours and my body is starting to protest a bit.
One of the nicest things about snowfalls like this one is that it gives me a chance to meet the people who live around me. Most of us are so busy with our individual lives that we don’t even know our neighbors. Today was especially gratifying as I witnessed so many of them working together to help dig out from the storm.

That’s a good bit of snow and shoveling it is one of the best ways to find out how old you really are. Your photos remind me what it was like here last February.
I’m surprised how well my body held up. For most of the shoveling, I had to carry it for a dozen steps or more before putting/tossing it in a pile. I think that varied the stress on the muscles and gave me a better workout.
And I’ll bet that it was a real workout!
