fat girl, shoveling

I got up at 5 and the snow had already begun to fall. When I left for work at 6:30 there was an inch or so on the ground. I went to work and arrived just in time for the 2-hour delay announcement. An hour later we were closed.

I stayed. After spending nearly an hour to get there, I was not going home during rush hour. Plus, I had a lunch date with my four Chinese international students.

When we left at 1:30 the snow had cleared considerably. It was very light. The roads were fairly clear. Until I got to Broadway. It. Stunk. Big. Time. My street, nor my alley was plowed. But that is pretty normal. I came down the alley, stopped just above my garage and got out and shoveled. It took about 40 minutes to clear the driving pad, and the sidewalk back to the house.

I came in to get warm, and then spent another 45 minutes on the front sidewalk. I never realized how much walking you do shoveling snow. I'm at about 8K on my Fit Bit, and I shoveled, walked too and from the Markle parking garage, and too the restaurant.

They have cancelled classes. So if I finish grading, and my online class. I'll try and get the other 2K in tonight. I got to get to Nome! I also need to buy new boots. This winter, one pair is not enough. They never are dry.

We had 8.1 inches today. I want to go snow shoeing.
