Well, it appears as though there is yet another snow storm heading our way. Though it is supposed to be smaller than the last one, it will mean lower back pain none-the-less. After our last snow storm, I spent the good part of my Saturday shoveling my (and my neighbors) car out from vast snow drifts. The next day I could hardly walk without agonizing pain stabbing me in my lower back. After about 2 hours of stretching and several hot baths, the pain abated a bit, however, it turned out that only time was able to soothe the savage pain.

And now it seems I will be going through the same ordeal again. All this reoccurring snow puts me in the mind of the movie ‘Groundhog Day‘. Unlike ‘Groundhog Day‘ however, I will not be getting Andie MacDowell at the end of the ordeal. The best I can hope for is green grass. And yet, while mired down by the hellish whitewash of the season, I can think of nothing better.
