Plenty of weather to complain about in 2021

[Bob Schroeck]

And 22 hours after that, I've succeeded in clearing out the driveway and about ten feet of sidewalk, after a cumulative 5.25 hours of shoveling split between the afternoon and the evening, with the latter session lasting almost until 9 PM. And this morning, I feel rotten. My back is complaining and I feel groggy despite crawling into bed pretty much on-time. The only upside is the elbow that has been slooooooowly healing since November didn't twinge on me until literally the last couple shovelfulls of snow and this morning is going, "shoveling? What shoveling? I didn't notice anything."

Average accumulation appears to have been about 14 inches, although I had to start off by digging through 3-foot drifts by the garage door, and of course I ended the day's festivities by excavating the four-to-five-foot wall thrown up at the street by the plows. I have two veritable mountain ranges of snow along each side of my driveway, with two substantial peaks at their ends.

And it's still snowing right freaking now.
