I fear

I shall never see a bare road again!
Am I doomed to ride in the basement?
How does snow shoveling effect bike fitness?

The scene from my front door this morning:



Just sipping a cup of coffee and contemplating getting togged up for a morning's shovelling.

It looks lovely, but it's heavy, dense snow :-( Dug through to the drive, but I think I'm going to have to call for reinforcements ... now to think; snow-blower or N+1?

With snow like that, it's a no-brainer!

We had about 16 inches total (yesterday and today) here in Bucks County, PA. I love being outside and using a different set of muscles. Got a new pup and he loves to be out in the snow which shocks me a little because he's a little guy, Italian Greyhound, without much hair. That being said, I can't wait for dry roads and some warmer weather.
