yikes. well, it hasn't bothered my arms but my back is a mess. also feel it in the shoulder with the broken collarbone. neighbor saw me using a pitchfork i found in the garage and let me borrow his ice chipper. big heavy thing, it was almost easier to use the pitchfork. i've been coating everything with salt the past week in hopes of loosening things up a little. i'm not sure it actually did anything, but now the whole front is clear, and now there's just two sections in the back that were still too solid/i was too tired to get through. the ruts in the alley are a different story.
