But, you see, though I had the mansion house

Last week I got 12 hours of exercise, some of it shoveling heavy snow. This week I have got four hours of exercise, mostly walking, some of it in deep unbroken snow. Show shoes would be useful to have, but I have managed without, even though in some places there is almost half a meter of snow.

The photographs were taken in Helsinki on January 28th.

I shoveled heavy snow during the weekend, and my arm muscles are sore.

There is a generous amount of snow in the forests. The depth of snow measurement at Helsinki-Vantaa airport is 28 cm, and in Nuuksio 36 cm. The weather forecast promises a bit colder weather for the next few days.

The rest, contented boredom

We are getting a lot of new and heavy snow today. I did quite a lot of shoveling snow in the morning, and more of this is in the program for the afternoon. At some point I might even go for a walk.
