We got about two feet, it’s hard to tell with the wind out there blowing the snow this way and that. We have a snowblower but I don’t like to use it because it vibrates too much for my hands. I prefer moving snow the old fashioned way, with a shovel. It takes longer, but I like the cardio workout and the muscle strengthening of picking up shovel loads of snow. Bend from the knees, so not to strain your back and use your core muscles too, also not strain the back. I was sweating, because the snowdrift that I was working on was a good four feet in height, so I know that I got some very good exercise today.
My hubby took the pictures to document just how much snow we got last night. When the snow is brand new, everything looks so clean and beautiful. I have to admit that it took a while before it felt as if I had made a dent in the snow. Luckily the cold temperatures had made the snow light and fluffy, easy to shovel, as opposed to what they had gotten down South in Connecticut and New York. I definitely would not want to be shoveling down there because they got hit with wet, heavy snow; the worst type of snow to clear away, no matter what you choose to use, the shovel or the snow blower.
That’s my story regarding the Storm Nemo; some good cardio exercise done and now lounging in front of the t.v with a roaring fire and writing about it. Not bad for a Saturday in February.

And we are in another heat wave – ha – supposed to be 42 deg. C today – argh!
If I could I’d send you an igloo of snow, I have more than enough to spare, to cool you off. Stay cool as much as you can. 🙂
Beautiful pictures. Wonderful exercise – it would just about finish me off to have to do that!
Trust me when I say that I don’t think that I will be shoveling more than a few inches ten years from now. I am walking slowly today however my back doesn’t hurt but my buttocks and thighs are feeling used.:D
Thanks for posting the pics 🙂
Crazy amount of snow, right?
Yes – but very beautiful.

I hear ya, It took me 1.5 hours to get 20 minutes home, and then I got stuck, and then hand shoveled the drive, then tried to get into it, did but not really…had to put carpet under all 4 wheels to get into the driveway, and it was almost sideways.
We were lucky in that we didn’t have icy snow, just snow. You poor thing, there is nothing worse than spending all that time in traffic only to come home to an un-shoveled drive way. I’m glad you made it home and in the drive way even if it was sideways.
