Arms like pudding

Living in the north of England we seldom get weather extremes one way or the other but being only two miles from the coastline it is my belief that the salt ever present in the air helps keep snow to a minimum.

I could well be mistaken but I'm happy in my personal belief.

Just completed my third showeling tour this day, plus that the space under the roof had snow entering through tiny spaces between the roof tiles and had covered th compete floor with 10 cm snow and needed cleaning, too. I'm done. my back is aching, my arms are hurting and I cannot hold a pencil anymore. Its lacking fitness, yes, but also: its excessive snow here. The only other man in the house who could seriously lend a hand, is not here currently. The others are older people or ladies.

80cm on my balcony now. Need to shovel that away a bit, too.

Also had a walk in between, and despite beign tired I enjoyed it. Felt like a little kid. Snow knees-high.

You should be careful Sky. People who are not use to snow shoveling can incure all kinds of injuries. Take it easy man.

Snow fall wise we here in Atlantic Canada have had a remarkable winter so far. Almost no snow and mild temps. Unfortunately that is going to end tomorrow. A snowfall warning has been issued.

Thanks, but a Frisian saying goes like this: wat mut, dat mut. (=what must be done, must be done).
