The amount of snow we get here in the deep south of England can usually be cleared with a half-decent sneeze (yay! for the Gulf Stream!  )

Personally, I like shoveling snow. I enjoy being out in snow, even if it's shoveling I don't mind. In fact, I remember once during a blizzard a neighbor said he'd lend my father his snowblower, to which my dad replied "nah I already have 2, one is still sleeping"  EDIT: I just read all the posts. Apparently Jody and my dad think alike. But Canada is pretty far away.....so I'm gunna need a few 6 packs to go up there. Wait, what's the drinking age in Canada?

ah....the joys of winter. Nothing like breaking out the 35 year old snow shovel and pulling several muscles in my back (it's good fun, really) followed by an intense session of chopping wood as if my life depends on it.
Chop chop Peter....down in the States we're workin' on a solution to your cold Canadian winters (in the form of CO2...), and you may not have the joy of shoveling snow in the future...

I hung my washing on the line this morning and forgot about it, and now they're frozen stiff. I used to dread the days i'd worry about these things and seeing those frosted garments filled me with a paralyzing terror and I'll never be the same
the grass was a little icedusted too which relates my post to peter's

I thought it was a law that all Canadiens have to own snowblowers. 
Or haven't you heard of them yet?
Wonderful invention,those snowblowers.  |
oh come on, Maryland gets like 8 inches of snow a YEAR, do you really need a snowblower? I wish my stepdad would finally get one

I don't have one.
I have two....my daughter and my son.When it snows I hand them shovels and say....."go shovel the drive and the sidewalks".

Those snowblowers might be too much "heavy metal" for him. Besides he probably prefers the classic shovels from the 70's.
