Phoenix Gold Phorum

For the second year in a row...I didn't get the snowblower put on the tractor before the first big snow storm.... so for the second year in a row I had to shovel the whooooolllllle thing.

To make it known how much work that is...its a long driveway, roughly 150ft mininum...and its very windy here so 6" of snow turns into 2 foot drifts in the driveway. and drifted snow is packed frozen and madd hard to shovel... so if my math is right...150 ft, by 6 feet wide eguals 900 square feet...multiplied by and afterage thickness of 18 inches means I moved roughly 1350 cubic feet of snow today...alone...without a snowblower....but I didn't learn from the back breaking experience last year. so I re-lived it today...waaa - hooo.

DUMBASS!

I do it every year too. If I luck out, I luck out. If I don't my back will be sore.

Good excersise though.

I know I know.. and the worst part...a day after I shoveled it all...the temp rose to 50 degrees and it all friggin melted!! ...and no one besides me had to use the drive way...and my jeep is more than capable of getting out with the snow....

but like you said...its decent exercise, and my back acutally wasn't too sore the next day...Im scared Im getting used to it

150FT?

You got a Cessna in your garage?

haha...nope just my jeep...my driveway is actually a small dirt road with 3 other houses on it. my house is directly at the end of it. I have alarge yard so its about 150ft to the next house...and there were days last year where the elderly neighbors asked me to do the whole thing...because they never called the plow guy.... so yeah...the snowblowers a bit of a help.
