snow shoveling

I shoveled for the first time in 15 years of living in Sweden. That's mostly because I now have a drive to shovel, but it's also because Stockholm doesn't get much snow.

Snow can fall from evening to morning to evening again and there's barely a build up. Coming from Boston where snow accumulates to school shut down in a few hours I was originally amazed that we never get more than a few inches (around a decimeter) at any given snowfall.

My driveway is long. While I shoveled the melting inch today for fun. I know there will be a day I'll have to do it to get the car out on a cold morning in a hurry. And I don't think I'll be sad that deep snow is rare in Stockholm..
