The exhausting experience of trudging through piles of snow to get to where you need to go. Trudgery is highly effortful and has a negative effect on mood. Unplowed sidewalks, heavy bags, early mornings, severe winds, and non-waterproof footwear can all heighten one's sense of trudgery.
"Ugh, two feet of snow fell last night, and I had to get to class by 8:30am. The sidewalks were a mess. I'm exhausted; it was complete trudgery."
