I swear at this point there's only 2 seasons. "slightly chilly with a chance of a two-footer" from October-March and "swamp season" from April to September

I agree with you, but most in this thread imagine that improvement is just too hard and we should just accept things as they are and let our corporate overlords bask in their wealth while we just we accept days and days without power every winter.

I have one of those shovels with a springy handle half way up. It was pretty handy for the walk way. We are still working on finding a plow for the driveway. Our regular plow guy killed his truck in the storm. It's been just at or above freezing up until now so the ice hasn't set in just yet.

The only thing that will help would be a 200Kt thermonuke, and that might be a problem for your house and garage. On the other hand, after the EMP surge, you wouldn't need to worry about Eversource restoring power to your electronics. 😵‍💫

Good God. Presumably with the dropping temps, that's all turned to ice. Maybe one of those propane flamethrowers? Do they still make those?

My back is sore just from shoveling 4" of that stuff off my 80' walkway.

Having good luck with one of those metal dirt shovels, long 6' wood handle, with a flat blade and flat (sharp) edge. Blade is small, which is good. I think it belonged to my grandfather 🤣.

Regular snow shovels are useless PoS. They're all designed for the kind of snow we haven't seen these past 4-5 years.
