    Shoveling snow

    Has anyone else had to move snow yet? I have twice and need to get in winter shoveling shape fast before a big storm hits. Also how do you move your snow ( Register I'd say no smart ass answers but what would be the fun in that! LOL)

    I can't remember, it must've been 20 years ago or so that it snowed enough to stick. But we don't have snow shovels in San Antonio.

    Not yet. I cut grass and vacuumed the lawn on Thursday. I'll pull the deck off and put the blower on this 0Saturday or Sunday.

    Nope but we seldom get any accumulation until late December or early into the new year, if at all. I do shovel the driveway for the most part and ice melt early in the day when we get it just so the dog has some place to walk outside. I seldom go out in it driving, but just in case. My city is horrible at side street snow management and it is literally uphill in every direction to and from my house (think the bottom of a bowl situated on top of a ridge all mini-volcano like) .

    That must suck when you get sleet or freezing rain.

    Very much so, but being on the sunny side of the street thaws me out quicker than across the road, not that I can go anywhere. I can at least walk the dog without breaking my neck.
