But after my mini-tantrum I bundled up and grabbed the shovel and salt and hit the driveway. Not literally

Its been cold and the snow is sticking around, so this afternoon I'm going to bundle up and head to a local wetlands for a walk. I enjoy watching the ducks frolicking in the freezing water and having the place mostly to myself.
