Shoveling

We got hit pretty hard today. Looked like about 8 inches of snow, which, when I decided to go to bed last night, was light & fluffy. Then came the sleet & freezing rain all morning & all day. Holy shit. It took me 20 minutes to clear a two-foot wide section the length of our car. Frozen slush. You had to break it up before you could shovel it. And even then you couldn't put much on the shovel - either because you simply couldn't lift it or for fear of the shitty plastic shovel snapping in two beneath the weight of the frozen sludge. All together, I only shoveled for a little over an hour ... with many breaks ... it took all day ... and now my shoulders are wondering what the hell I was thinking.
