that my mailbox is on the street, and we have no sidewalks. When It snows, I don't have to do *anything* except salt the driveway...and that's just for me to get out. When I was a kid (youngest of three) I always got stuck shoveling the snow, and if we had a snow shovel, it was never around when I needed it, so I was often stuck with a garden shovel. No more!

I am soooooo glad that you only have to do the drive way and at your convenience. So much better.

I will *never* live in a place that has sidewalks unless I had the attachment for a tractor.

But then again we live in San Diego... never have had to shovel sunshine

I'd post a picture but this place really needs to figure out why certain links just don't work

Typically a 6 inch snow would take 25-30 minutes to clear drive, sidewalks and porches.

Today, an hour and a half, mostly spent working the stuff frozen at the bottom. I'm glad it was cool today, I was working up a sweat.

It was more ice than snow, but still had to shovel a little bit. Raining now.

No snow yet............and now maybe a slight chance Thursday and Friday. I have not missed it a bit! I hope it makes it a much shorter winter for all of us in N.E. Ohio as last years winter was so long and drug on into April.
