or if not, you may not have been following along at home. In any case, this has been a very, very, verly light winter in terms of shoveling -- I had to clean the deck comepletely about five or six times, but otherwise it's been a matter of cleaning the steps a few times.
Understand that we don't shovel our driveway; the plow guy comes in to do that. In general we can get out even before he comes in to plow but this year I don't think we've had any storms of over a foot.
In case the plow guy gets snowed out (or is off on a snowmobile trip) we have a Lewiston Scoop we inherited from a friend who moved to your part of the country -- it's a wooden snow scoop with a metal front edge -- that moves a lot of snow with the shoveling motion -- it's one of the the original of what's now a common thing in palstic... but ours is probably 40 years old...
