:D Yesh... shovels are friends.

Hey it's white gold to me. I would go nuts without radical variation to the season.

I have only been in a snow storm twice in my live. One of those times I was trapped in my car for about 6 hours only 100kms from Sydney. A very very rear thing for snow to be that close to Sydney and block a section of road, I was driving in the Blue mountains one night just for something to do. I was about 1000 meters above sea level. when I got out of the storm and then I turned around to go back into it. I have never in my life seen snow build up on the windscreen and jam the wipers. I ended up getting trapped because of ice and snow under the car lifting it of the road. so I had to pull over and stop. from memory the snow was about 8-10in deep and ice under that, it was the ice that stopped me. I was that lucky. However, At first I got worried I was getting cold in the car and had to start it up about every 20mins to warm up, once it almost didn't start. I was worried. but I kept telling myself that I have never heard of anyone freezing to death in a car in Australia. When the storm passed, it was so quiet and peaceful, it amazed me. I still had to wait for the snow to melt so that I could drive. when I was able to drive there was no snow at all about 3 kms down the road. Even Semi trailers where trapped where I was. It was great. The other time was when I was down at the ski fields, I was walking around in a blizzard. So cold, you will laugh at what I call so cold, -10c and that's the wind chill temp however it was beautiful. something about it. At both times I have never felt so alive. In a way I know what you mean.

Did the shoveling routine for 10 years. Big old place with a circular driveway and parking area. First few years absolutely loved it. By the 10th year, I couldn't wait to find a place with no snow. Good for you for enjoying the workout. Hope you never lose your desire to shovel.

:D

Wish we still had enough show here to shovel... Global warming is a reality.

i like shoveling too. i usually do at least a few sidewalks here because i am surrounded by infirm and elderly folks :)

I love the gratitude the elders show...after work I go around the neighborhood and do a couple walks too.
