summary of yesterday and today.
Amount of time spent outdoors shoveling:

4 1/2 hours broken down the following way. 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM; 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM; 11:00 PM - 12:00AM. Monday morning 8:00 AM - 8:30 AM.

Amount of snow moved:

Approx. 35 cm (13 1/2 inches) I now have two huge mounds of snow at the end of my driveway where my bushes are. I now have room for only about 5 cars not 6 anymore, but what can you do? There are only so many places you can put the snow.

Snowfall for December so far as of December 17:

100 cm (39 inches)

Average snowfall for all of December:

40 cm (15 inches)

Average annual snowfall for Montreal:

214 centimeters (84 inches). this means we have nearly reached half our annually snowfall and it is not officially winter yet. That hurts my head as well as my body.

What I watched between the snow shoveling:

NFL football, The Polar Express (which I really liked a lot) and Mythbusters.

Let us hope there is normal snowfall from now on. I can't take another of these anytime soon.

Ta Ta for now.

Does the city remove the snow back there, or are you pretty much stuck with it until it melts?

They plow the street and push the snow onto the CN track area behind my house.

Later the chopper comes and breaks up the mound of snow that is against the fence and puts it on the other side where the tracks are.
