After roughly 36 hours of snow, we ended up with roughly 18 inches of snow to shovel off our driveway. There’s really no where else to put the snow. Too, the snowplow keeps coming by and dropping more street snow–all icy and chunky and dirty–onto the end of our driveway. This heavy wet dirty icy snow is not fun to shovel.
At the same time, it’s actually ‘warm’ out–about 35 degrees (trust me, that’s warm) so the snow that is currently falling is also wet and yet not sticking. It’s supposed to be in the high 30s for the next week so hopefully a lot of what has fallen will melt.
Today, a Saturday, I had to go into work to do a little CYA. Sad.
Afterwards, I went to the gym, where I spent 30 minutes on the elliptical listening to Jay-Z, and then I transitioned into my full body workout listening to Ray LaMontagne. I did:
- Crunches
- Reverse crunches, done by holding a ball between your feet and lifting your feet/legs in and out
- Standing Y-raises with 5 LBS weights
- Single-arm, single-leg lift with 25 LBS weights
- Stiff-legged deadlift with two 15 LBS weights
- High arm raises in pushup position with two 5 LBS weights
- Partial lunges with single arm press with 10 LBS weights
Then I walked home listening to Milow and shoveled more snowplow-left-behind snow….
