Does shoveling through three-foot snow drifts count for a cardio workout? Maybe not. Here's a picture of what we did this morning. Up to that point, it all had to be dug out by hand. The problem is, it's still snowing, and the wind is blowing some 20 miles an hour. So we'll be digging it back out this afternoon. Ah, the joys of living in Minnesota.
Here's a picture of us doing our cardio together. Actually, it's a lot colder here than the picture portrays. We are having the 2nd blizzard in as many weeks here. We're snowbound. And actually, we got an upper body workout in, not a cardio. Maybe the picture is a bit of an exaggeration. There were no dragons chasing us.
When we decide to leave the house, we will get our second workout of the day. We'll have to shovel through three foot drifts to even get to the snow blower. After that, it will take an hour to get the drive open. They are predicting another 10 inches over-night. We might be stuck here forever. You gotta love it.
Here's a view out the front door. I took this picture at 6:00pm Central today. You can't really tell, but the snow is actually falling horizontally! Under the snow is several hours of ice that rained down this morning. We stocked up on food yesterday, but if we are going to last, you'd better send money. Yeah, that's the ticket! Send money. It's the only way we can last! (Click on the picture to see the detail.)
