Unless the forecast changes significantly, I will be working from home on Monday. -59* wind chills in the morning are not reasonable.

Looks like the Gov closed down schools for Monday. They cancelled once when I was in junior high, or so, it was -20°, -70° wind chill that day.

So far this winter, I have gone to an all snow shovel plan. I fired up the snow blower to make sure that it ran, took one test swipe to assure functionality, and parked it. It takes me 32 minutes to shovel (based upon 4 data points + or - 2 minutes). I am figuring that counts as "upper body work" on those days.
Snow blower yesterday afternoon.

I, in my little 1998 Saturn SL, had no trouble driving in the snow. I passed by plenty of clueless idiots in SUV's who are a menace to the rest of us.

I love seeing SUVs on the side of the road. Why people think that being in a taller, heavier vehicle will help them with handle slippery roads better is beyond me.

By my inexact surveying methodology, 83% of stranded CNY vehicles are Subarus and SUVs. Just because they go through snow doesn't mean they stop in snow. Part of why I have never owned an Automatic is the ability to control speed through the transmission without having to apply the brakes. (or breaks to be #41ier ).
