The true test of my will power when it comes to walking...snow

I've been walking almost every day for some time now, I've tried this in the past and have worked my way up from two years ago thinking a mile was an accomplishment to at least two miles a day, sometimes three. The rain didn't stop me, I actually enjoy walking in the rain, but now we come to what has stopped me in the past, snow and cold weather...Why? I always fall because people out here don't salt or shovel their sidewalks. Last year I looked into getting one of the many different types of ellipticals out there so that I could still exercise. Some of them don't take up as much space as others, space is an issue here. I'd actually love to have a treadmill since that would be closer to my walking, but there really isn't any extra space here to be able to do it. My son and two of my daughters work out at a gym, but for me? Having to actually arrange being able to go to work out is something I know I wouldn't follow through on.

I'd plan to go, but something would come up. Sticking to my walking regime on some days was a challenge, but I discovered the more politically heated things got here and on my other blog, the more important it was for me to take that walk. As I sit here right now, it's snowing, not little bits of snow but those big huge fluffy snowflakes, and I shudder...
