Most people are periodically looking out the window and shuddering at what they see. But one man was battling it with a shovel.

"This is back-breaking, brutal weather; no fun," he said.

He conceded that maybe he should have bought a snow blower instead.

"Definitely," he said, "big mistake on my part. A little late, but I can always go back out."

No sooner does the man clear a sidewalk than blowing snow begins to cover it again. He says it's been years since he's seen a snowstorm of this magnitude.
