Oh, so THAT’s what that long handled thing that we keep in the back of the car in winter is used for…. A snow removal device! And, ahhh… white stuff! Could it REALLY be… snow!? Yay! Ooops, snow is heavy. Packed drifts on the 1/8 mile driveway are REALLY heavy.
Whew, made it to the garage through thigh-high drifts. Snowblower excavated. How do we start this darn snowblower again? Huh, doesn’t run too well… broken? Aww, sh*t! Hey, it just needs gas! Wow! Now the 5 required passes in 2 hours to clear the driveway can begin...
What? You want to get out of here faster than that? Here’s that shovel…
Lift with your legs, lift with your legs. Ooof!
(We were away for part of the weekend and actually got stuck on the way INTO the driveway. White-out conditions along Lake Superior made for exciting driving, but we made it and hope to actually ENJOY some snow soon, rather than cursing it for blocking our way. Not that I don’t enjoy a good shoveling work-out now and again…Horray for snow!)

sounds like coming home :)
Yes, hooray, we needed it! Your driveway sounds about the same length as ours. The Hermit didn't have the chains on the tractor tires, so he ended up using the snowblower.
I usually apy the township to plow our driveway (it's over a 1/4 mile) but I figured we were going to get no snow this year. Oh well, I did barely make it out. I'm not complaining though, we NEEDED the snow.
