Spreading salt isn't nearly as good at calorie burning as shoveling. Wish were getting the white stuff instead of the wet stuff (and so do my kids!) Careful out there.

The wind chill last night got to -55F. It makes me want to hibernate like a proper mammal and eat lots of fat to try and stay warm. Maybe I'll burn calories shivering. Everyone stay safe and warm this weekend! "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away" Which, I believe, include hard workouts!

Wanda Jo Joined: Jan 11 Posts: 11	quote Posted: 01 Feb 2011, 16:39 osugspaleo--- where are you in South Dakota. I am in the SOuth East. I am agreeing with you. Anywhere sounds better than here,, except maybe in Canada!.. Its is double digits below zero everywhere, which makes for a deep hard iceburg in the driveway. The snow freezes so hard it makes it nearly impossible to scoop!.

I usually love it here, it's gorgeous and lots of opportunities for nice hikes, but right now it's just ridiculous out. Stay warm!
