Shoveling snow sux, thanks God I live where it rarely snows, I don't even own a snow shovel! did plenty of that as a kid growing up in Chicago!
To paraphrase your statement, Thank God I live where it NEVER snows.
I don't own a snow shovel either.
And I did plenty of that as an adult (year wise anyway) in Idaho. 30 years worth.
It's so much easier to sweep the walkway rather than having to shovel snow off it. Boy, howdy!!!
I had a 10 horse, 26" Toro snow blower that I used on our 100 yard long, uphill driveway. I traded it to a fellow with a bulldozer and a big truck with a snow plow mounted on it for a couple of years worth of snow removal. One of the best trades I ever made. And he did the uphill drive, the area between the garage and the house and the downhill drive. I never did the downhill drive when it was just me moving the snow.
