in Motivation and Support
Any other midwesterners out there? I was wondering which category this falls under this morning...definitely a motivation and support :) MY CAR IS BURIED UNDER A FOOT OF SNOW...after I get that all off, I will have to continue to shovel it out, then probably scrape ice off for another half hour...if I want to get to the gym. If this isn't a test of motivation I don't know what is!! My heating blanket is on, roomie's making pancakes with Christmas music...ok, enough venting, I'm GOING! You "non-snow" states don't know how good you have it ;);)

HAPPY THURSDAY EVERYONE! :)

    I just moved to SC from MI. We got a decent bit of snow in Michigan but definately not as much as you do in MN. I dont miss the snow yet but this is only my first winter away! But hey on a good note, think of all the extra calories you will be burning while digging out! Good Luck!!

    I lived in Plymouth and then St. Paul for three years. Now am back in Michigan. I feel sorry for you! And, I am soooo very glad I'm not there. Although it is frigid here, we haven't had the snow yet.

    By the time you finish all of that you won't need to go to the gym. You will have gotten your exercise. :laugh:

    I'm in Virginia. We are getting our first snow of the year. But only 4 inches at the most where I live.

    Saint Louis Mo. Just ice here, and people who think it's just normal driving conditions and screw up the roads for everyone else.

    I so know about the car being buried. I lived in Northern VT for 10 1/2 years. I moved to NJ in April (thanks to the US Air Force). I was not used to the amount of snowfall that the state got.

    I had mornings I went out to head to work and had to get 2ft of my car. Plus I sometimes had to go to the end of the driveway and clear a bit of a path because the snow plow would pile up more snow that I couldn't drive through.
