You’re right. This work has been making me as hungry as a horse.
It’s really way more work than people generally realize.
You work your whole body, and it’s not like a gym where you’re on a machine.
You’re using all your muscles while supporting yourself instead of sitting on a machine and having it support you while you work certain muscle groups.
I always considered shoveling out the driveway and sidewalks more than equivalent to a work out and never went to the fitness center on the days I shoveled.
It’s especially hard on the back muscles and I’ve heard people say that if you haven’t grown up shoveling out you really shouldn’t try it as an adult if you’re unwilling to risk your back.
How much did you get?
I was talking to a meteorologist friend of mine and he told me there’s another storm system on tap for next weekend very similar to the one you just got.
Only it’s going to be warmer so there’s not the risk for snow. It’ll more than likely be rain.
Not that you need the potential for flooding that you can have from the combination of snow melt and rain on what is going to be saturated ground.
