SHOVEL BEFORE IT FREEZES

Feb 13, 2014 19:28

I just went out in the cold, cold rain to shovel out the car. Not that I'm heading out tonight! but ice is a lot tougher than snow. I'd say that 2 or 3 inches of the stuff I just moved weighs something like twice as much as 6-8" of fresh-fallen fluffy.

So just in case you've forgotten
about that, or the weather is hitting
you with something you're really
not used to…⬆⬆take
heed⬆⬆

When I was done with half an hour of that, my gloves were soaked through and my fingers too numb to turn the key. I had to call SON to let me in. Next time out: waterproof winter gloves.
