Kinda hard making money with that type of work.
That kind of work I don't need.

Charles,
If you let go of the shovel does the pile fall over?
You must have one heck of a resume!

Thats my right handed human amplified torso lever ( patent pending ).

The impact accumulator on the bottom was six inches longer before the Snow Gods started laughing at the mid-atlantic.

Hi Glen,
I believe we have 26 inchs on the ground from Friday/Saturday's storm,,, and 12 inches so far today,,, it's unusual for this location. I'm an old farm boy and do'nt mind the snow so much.

Would this be normal snow fall for you in Canada?

Hey Charles, couple hours north of me it would be normal. I live just north of Lake Ontario and we get storms that drop maybe 3-4" at a time. Some bigger we might get 6-8". Early in the winter a area 3 hours north of me got a storm like you have been getting but they are in the "snow belt" which means they get lake effect snow storms till the lakes freeze over. 26 inches is alot of snow for one storm no matter where you are. Right now I have hardly any snow and more grass showing then snow. Watch the back shoveling.

I have to say that I think the Boston area really does have the best weather... sure we get a blizzard every other year, but we never get "really life changing events" like tornados or hurricanes.

I have no idea how the folks in Minneapolis make it... it is 100 in the summer, -20 in the winter and they get 6" snow storms every other day and it is almost like they don't even see it.

The joke is that there is only two seasons.... Winter and Road Repair.

I enjoyed the blizzard of '78 in Boston, have lots of pictures, no phone. Wow that was a fun time!

The Winter Olympics are flying in hay and snow this year!! was 48 degrees a couple of days ago

My 1968 Ariens snow blower just keeps on going!

What feed rate and stepover are you using? That shovel looks like a single flute design. Is it solid carbide?

I work with folks from Manila and they said that their spring has been exceptionally hot and sunny.

I heard a snicker when I said SNOW

We asked them to send a team here to learn the products and experience the snow...

We heard groans
