I am the chief snow shoveler at our place. My husband keeps saying no snowblower here, but he is not the one at the end of the shovel. He can't even get out of the house this winter. Our son uses the big farm tractor and loader but by the steps and garage, he can't get the big farm tractor in there. So for now and I still have the health to do it, I will shovel. If I can't push it, I just take small shovelfuls to carry. Some day, I might just come home with an electric start snow blower.
