Like much of the country, the Hudson Valley in NY was slammed with snow Sunday and Monday. I went out twice on Sunday and cleared the driveway and shoveled the walk but by Monday morning it was filled to the brim again with snow.
I have a snow thrower and used it on the driveway but there is still a lot to shovel. Snow throwers only clean up so much and then it’s time to use the back and arms. I also shoveled off our back porch as I didn’t want the snow to sit on the porch for the next couple of weeks until a potential thaw.
Last week my wife and I assembled our new Nordic Track. Our Sole treadmill we got during COVID died a couple of months ago. I usually run at the gym in the mornings, but tonight I took the new treadmill out for a leisurely run. I was quite happy with it. My wife usually runs at home as she is not a gym person. Once the weather breaks she and I run or walk outside each night, but the weather in January in NY is just not made for outdoor running in my book.
I hope you did well in clearing the snow and staying safe… I’m going to have some tea and head to bed.
