Today I teach on Zoom so I'm not really concerned about going out. I have class no matter what the weather. I was looking forward to a storm. I'd shovel and get some exercise before being stuck in a chair for four hours.
It snowed for a while last night. Maybe we had some freezing rain, but most of the night I heard rain. So I'd anticipated an inch of slush to be shoveled. Slush is heavy. It was slushy at 7 am, but then the temp must have dropped for awhile and it's more like packed crystals. When you pick it up it looks like shaved ice at a carnival. I don't want it to freeze into ice, so I went out to shovel. There have been people out shoveling for an hour. It sounds like they are working hard. And they were. I ultimately gave up and went inside for salt. I put it down pretty heavy. At 4 when class is over, if there's any remaining crystals on the sidewalk, I'll go scrape them off. Or put down more salt.
Right now it's probably safer to walk in the street than on the sidewalks. The plow came, and people are having no trouble driving. Once they get out of their parking space.
Wednesday, on the other hand, it was in the high 60s. I went to yoga wearing a sweatshirt and was hot. I had the car windows open. Global warming is a roller coaster ride!
Monday Pat and I exercised with Milly. Weather dependent, I'm hoping to walk in Manauynk tomorrow. I also signed up for three hikes with the Wildlands in the Pocono's/Coal Region.
Progress. But not quick enough.
