<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(nrsheikh @ Feb 25 2007, 06:50 PM) [snapback]396414[/snapback]</div> I hate it also. Had to shovel 6 inches off my drive today. Hope this is about over. I want my mileage to go back up.
Yah think that's bad? Try mowing the lawn year round! <_< Although, in Winter, once a month is more than sufficient . :lol:
well i hate moving. and i hate rain in february. even more so than snow, because at least snow in february is *normal* where i'm from... i have shoveled snow once in the past almost-3 years, and that was back in january at my mom's house. it wasn't as bad as i remember, but it was only like 5 inches.
I live in New England. I had to use my snowblower exactly once this season (so far). Twice it was so little I could easily shovel it, and once it was so nasty I had to hire the plow guy to take care of it. This has been a really, really weird winter.
Oh the dang LEAVES, raking the dang leaves after the cold snap. year round mowing, & relentless Pollen allergies... And all the little old wheres the beef woman driving slow in the left lane..! <_<

You think shoveling the drive is bad... The snow storm over the weekend had me shoveling both the drive AND my back yard - the snow was too deep for my dog to go out without shoveling!

I'll see your 6" of snow, and raise you one stupid person that thinks they're smart. Try working with folks like that. It'll make 10 feet of snow seem like the 4th of July on Maui.
Snow is mostly air. A snow with high water content ratio is 90% air to 10% water. Saturated snow (through compaction or in spring) has a maximum 55% water content. Shovel the snow early and it is easier. Don't like shoveling snow? Use a snow fence to redirect snow deposition (slat fence with space between the slats). Easy to move. Position snow fence so saltation (wind moving the snow particles) deposits snow where you want the snow to be. Snow fences are used extensively by railroads, highway departments and alpine ski areas. Snow fences help protect all sorts of areas: avalanche runout zones, houses, driveways, schools, etc. Once you learn, you can use snow fencing to redirect snow where you prefer it to go (assuming the predominant wind flow direction works with you). http://www.agr.gc.ca/pfra/water/snowfence_e.htm http://culter.colorado.edu:1030/Niwot/Niwo...snowfence1.html http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/...ces/DD7277.html http://www.rnews.com/Story_2004.cfm?ID=953...amp;category=10
