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."
