Snow shoveling

I live in Wisconsin and rent a duplex where we have to keep an entire driveway clear of snow. Just wondering if anyone knows how much a half hour of snow removal would burn in calories. It's definitely a good workout but I'm already sick of snow.

    Check out this site.
    I hear you about the snow! Here in NH, we have one heck of a long winter every year! We've got a snowblower though now, as well as a new tarred driveway, which I'm hoping will also make it alittle easier too!

    Well, I don't know about snow shoveling since it's 60 degrees here on the OBX of NC!! HA! Just thought I'd throw that in for any of you that are freezing, however I would really love to have a white Christmas - haven't had one in about 10 years.

    I'd certainly LOVE to trade weather with you, since we got a high of around 30 degrees today. It was 14 when I went grocery shopping this morning! I HATE the cold, and all the snow that comes with it! I'd gladly give it up if only I could! :laugh:
