We've had a very enjoyable autumn this year. I was able to throw many rounds of disc in October and even some into mid-November. We hadn't even had a measurable snowfall; well, until yesterday. Earlier in the week the forecast was for 3-5" of the white stuff. Then they upped it to 5-7". I went and measured this morning and figure we had at least 9" and probably closer to 10".

Last night I came down with a nasty bug, temperature spiking to 103. The fever broke in the night, but I wasn't looking forward to shoveling the driveway. I refuse to get a snowblower since it ain't cheap, I'd have to store it, and I can use the exercise. However, this morning I was wishing I could just wish the snow away. Mare suggested we get some cousins to help out, but I was feeling a little better so figured I'd take it on. It just seems weak to get a couple little guys to shovel your driveway; a man should shovel his driveway. It usually takes me about an hour to shovel for such a large snow, but today it took a bit longer. The temperature was perfect, about 25. Anything warmer and I start to sweat; anything less and it becomes painful. The worst thing about shoveling is not the snow, it's my nose. When I hit the outdoors in the winter my nose starts a runnin' and never stops. It's a frustration, but oh well. But after an hour-and-a-half the driveway was done and I could head back inside.
