Well…used the new boots to shovel the snow for the first time this morning and came in after an hour out there with nice warm feet for the first time since I moved out here…and the lugged soles just bite into the snow so shoveling is so much easier not having to worry about slipping and sliding all over…well worth the 55 bucks  paid for them…but, I’ll be back out there again later this aft since the snow is still falling at almost 3 inches an hour…but at least the power has stayed on and no damage to anything from the surges when it was going on and off…so now it’s time to prep the big ham to go on the grill around 1 or so since it’s huge and needs to heat through..and that usually takes about 3 hours….
