Here We Snow Again

I can’t wait to get off the air at 94.9 WHOM today. I’ll don my boots, hat, gloves and trudge out to my car (luckily in a garage) to begin the long trek home. When I arrive, there likely won’t be a way into my home garage.

I’ll patiently park the car on the road and start shoveling my way in. As mentioned in prior blogs, I am the only person in the entire state of Maine without a snowblower. Also too cheap to hire someone to plow out my driveway, I am therefore sentenced to a life of shoveling.

In the interest of sharing different shoveling techniques and implements, I am curious as to the effectiveness of the huge “sleigh-shovel”. I use the traditional blade-type shovel and my achin’back to clear a path.

What do you think of the “push it all away” method? Will it work when the snow gets so freakin’ high that there is nowhere else to PUSH it? If you are unclear about the “sleigh-type” shovel, click on the following clip and watch the darn thing in action:

Looks a bit suspect to me, but your input is always welcome! Does that thing actually WORK?

If you’d like this blog in your e-mail daily (free, just like the snow!) let me know:

Be careful out there!
