I was thinking that it was a good workout and that I have been getting stronger, but the truth is I spend all of Sunday and Monday on the couch in pain because of it.
Definitely getting a snowblower for next winter. I'm hoping that the rest of this winter is pretty light. This weekend there wasn't so much in the way of fresh snow (about an inch) but I damn near killed myself scraping the hard pack off the driveway from the previous ~30 inches, which was packed down to about 2-3 inches of some amazingly strong, ceramic-like form of snow. It was coming off in big plates, 20-40 pounds at a time that i had to huck up over my head to get them on top of the snow piles surrounding my driveway. Hoo ah!
