    Hasn't snowed here in NE Ohio yet, praise the Lord.

    I used to have a garden tractor with a box scraper. I'd put tire chains on the back wheels and push the snow around in reverse. Hard on the neck, but better than shoveling. That rig pooped out a couple of years ago, and I never replaced it. Been shoveling for the last couple of years.

    I recently bought an older four wheeler that came with a snow plow, so, bring it.

    I got this shovel a couple of years ago, it works amazingly well. You can push snow fairly easily, when it gets full, you can slide it across the snow like a sled.

    Cool, sometimes I run out of push before I run out of room, especially when it's wet snow.

    It is 86 degrees here. Blue sky, just a few puffy clouds. I did an hour and a half of yard work today, had to keep wiping sweat from my eyes!

    Yep, definitely the best snow shovel I've ever owned, and I've been shoveling snow for decades.

    Yeah yeah, we know all about Florida.

    50 here today, and 52 tomorrow. I'll take it. Below freezing at night though. But we have plenty of firewood, so, no worries.

    I bought a fancy snowblower just to keep the snow away.

    We are scheduled for the coldest air of the season (thus far) sometime next week around 40 for a low, if daytime highs don't top 70, I consider it chilly, if it is windy. When it comes to cold, the wind is the MF!

    Wind chill sucks.

    I grew up up in San Diego, and we would have relatives who would visit us in the summertime from Tucson Arizona. They would be freezing. In San Diego. In the summer. It's all relative, lol. Pun fully intended.

    We have snow in the forecast for next Friday I believe. I agree about the wind. When I lived near Pittsburgh that effing lake-effect wind would just suck the life out of you. It didn't matter so much if it was in the single digits +/-, but if that wind was blowing hard even in the 30's and 40's it was a PITA. Went out one night and it was -10° which was crisp and then I got blasted by a 20+MPH gust and literally thought I was going to die right then and there if I couldn't shelter in 45 seconds tops.
