First day back on snow after our Big Storm: nice!
 
So it's been, what, almost 3 weeks of LAMENESS due to COLD blech. It's
great to get back outside. I feel like a darn POW.

So for my first active day I hope I didn't overdo it.

We got about 5" of snow last night. It got very dark around 3pm
yesterday. I was hoping for a real Big Dump but we did OK.

So I shoveled 100 yds of driveway this a.m.

Then skied an hour.

Then pulled my tracksetter a half-hour.

Time to play catchup! Got til Jan 17! ...Uh...oh well.

Yeah, I'm near Lansing. We also went up north last weekend to our new
Property in Idlewild (by Baldwin). Snowless pics at OYB site. I should've
done some driveway entrance smoothing and stump-chopping---it was above
freezing and the dirt was soft. I'm guessing that Crystal is an hour
further north of our lot. On Sunday after we were home the storm hit.

POW? Is that Prisoner of Weather? How apt!
