We’ve cleared the driveway and walkways three times today.

Do you know what dangerous means? Because there's nothing advocating anything even remotely dangerous in this ad...

I split time between Denver and Maine and first year I was out there I saw a 1990ish Chevy Cavalier Z24 on the road and my mouth dropped. That vehicle in Maine would’ve been recycled into a lawn chair 20 years ago. Nothing rusts out there due to low humidity.

I dont touch it till the storm is done. Still snowing here.

If I need to go somewhere and the plow dude hasn't shown up yet.. then shovel out to and around the car, the just enough to get in and out. (My back isn't what it used to be) Occasionally, if my landlords Airbnb is occupied I've had to clear their space as well (ok, didn't HAVE to but I felt bad and knew the plow guy wasn't gonna hit our spot again that night)

And idk what you mean about no snow until now... We've gotten snow since at least December this winter...

You have multiple non-running vehicles is your front yard.

I hope you file a complaint with the Maine Attorney General's office on the contractor. You might look into a self storage unit for practice space.

Depends how much you got. I try to shovel once every 5-6 inches

Yes, I do this.

I was hit by a car in 2017, as a pedestrian. All the yoga in the world can't always prevent back injury, sometimes I can throw it out from getting up too fast. I'm also fairly petite so it's not weight related. Just one day Paula Anderson was impatient and decided hitting me (while I was on the sidewalk) was justified bc in her words to police "I thought I could get around her" According to witnesses I recoiled from being hit, and her car carried me for 5 or 6 feet before she stopped. I don't really remember it, just being unable to walk for a solid 3 months after that. I fear for my old age and falling.

But yes fully agreed and use that method just my twisted little body hates even light shoveling now lol.

The fiddly stuff is the worst. It takes so long, with minimal results, but if you don't do it it's bound to freeze in icy ridges and stay there another month.

Not today! I’m putting it off until tomorrow.

Mike Haggett says may be another storm coming end of the week. There's another one getting revved up in CA anyway.

Not trying to be a dink but you don’t have to brim the shovel every scoop, for example if we get 12” I scoop the top 6” and then the bottom 6” depending on how heavy the snow is

This heavy shit broke my shovel, so maybe just the once.

Yup! I just came back from Texas and saw 15+ year old cars without a spot of rust on them. It was remarkable.

I cleared the driveway and pathways once at about 7"; much longer and the snowblower is a lot more difficult to work with. Probably won't bother going out again until tomorrow morning.

You start digging into thigh deep snow and still don’t find the roof rake. But I did A roof rake, just not the good one.

7AM, 10AM, and 3PM. I should be done for the day. There was over a foot of miserably wet snow that I wouldn't want to tackle in much more than 4" increments.

My husband is usually the one who shovels our porch steps & sidewalks, but he’s out of town visiting his mom in the hospital, so I just shoveled snow for the first time in about 10 years. (And I realized that I don’t express enough appreciation when he does it.)

I’m no spring chicken, so I shoveled 4 times today — I figured I’d hurt myself if I tried to deal with more than 2-3” inches at a time. I’m glad I did!
