Wow, real snow! This is why I'm glad I don't live in Michigan: I am not ready for 6 in of snow yet. Not that we haven't had that much snow in CT in November (or even October), on occasion.

Good for you for keeping up with the outdoor exercise even in all the cold.

It's definitely unusual even for us this time of year. (Not so unusual farther north, though.)

Not to get on my soapbox or anything, but I think part the reason a lot of people hate winter so much is because they feel cooped up inside, and getting out to exercise can make a big difference. (And I'm not talking about shoveling, unless you're crazy like my dad and actually LIKE shoveling. I hope I can learn to like shoveling in February when it will be my job to shovel because my parents will be in Hawaii.) There's a lot of beauty in winter, if you actually get outside to see it. It is a big investment, though, to get the right gear to keep warm.

I like shoveling snow. It's lovely to be outside and you can take breaks to enjoy it. Besides, it's rewarding to see your own progress if you stop and look behind you.

My problem is that I'll have to shovel at like 5:00am in order to leave for work on time. (AND it's likely the plow will come by and throw a bunch of snow back in our driveway, but I won't have time to clean it up before I leave.) If I could get up and shovel whenever, I probably wouldn't mind.

Oh yeah, necessary deadline shoveling is a completely different thing! Good luck!
