Martha Stewart spends almost 3 hours plowing 4 miles of roads

WATCH: Martha Stewart spends almost 3 hours plowing 4 miles of roads

A good chunk of Americans had to shovel a sizable amount of heavy snow over the weekend. One of those Americans buried under 6 inches of thick snow was none other than Martha Stewart.

Instead of hiring a team of professionals to do the laborious task of shoveling and plowing, the TV personality took it upon herself to clear her property.

"After a beautiful but cold snowstorm my farm was covered with four to six inches of moderately heavy snow," the 78-year-old cheerfully wrote on Instagram Sunday.

So, how much snow did she have to move? Four miles, she wrote, alongside a series of videos of her happily bustling around and clearing away the compacted snow like a champ.

"I plowed non stop for two and a half hours and I think I did a great job!" she said.

After a beautiful but cold snowstorm my farm was covered with four to six inches of moderately heavy snow Got up early to plow the four miles of toads on the farm with my trusted #Polaris UTV fitted with adjustable snow plow I plowed non stop for two and a half hours and I think I did a great job! I don't like to damage the defined crown of my carriage roads, nor do I like to disturb the gravel topping so I plow leaving an inch or two of snow cover Looks prettier and I can use the roads for horseback riding as well as cross country skiing My road man Bruce Corbett would be proud!!! #polarissnow #polarisrzr

Luckily, the businesswoman had a little help with her Polaris UTV, which she gratefully shouts out for allowing her to manicure her trails just the way she likes.

"I don't like to damage the defined crown of my carriage roads, nor do I like to disturb the gravel topping," Stewart explains before jumping into the nitty-gritty of her routine. "So I plow leaving an inch or two of snow cover. Looks prettier and I can use the roads for horseback riding as well as cross country skiing."
