Yesterday we got over 20 cm of snow, and I did a lot of shoveling. I used the Polar heart-rate monitor to see how demanding it is - and it was. I worked for 42 minutes, of which 41 were in the region of very demanding physical activity. Averate rate was 132, max 151. All in all I used up 507 kcal according to the monitor.

Here are two images from today. We got some more snow, but not so much as yesterday. But more is on the way on Wednesday.

Today was the shortest day of the year - sun visible for only 5 hours 46 minutes. Now were are on the track for more light each day. Great!

Can't avoid snow here in Finland right now. Tomorrow, we'll get another big dose of it.
