Juno, I feel your pain. While I have no blisters my elbows (joints) are killing me.
We had a massive dump if snow here too. Sunday was spent clearing snow then overnight it dumped amassing amount. Then I, blinded by snow in my face, managed to mangle a hose around my snow blower. Took 3 hours to cut it out. This is going to be a long day and an even longer week.
