Shoveling during a snowstorm???

Mexivoof · 12-28-2007

PORQUE???
It is snowing heavily in Milwaukee right now and it is expected to continue for the next several hours. Why are my neighbors out shoveling their sidewalks. I might understand a driveway if someone in the house is due at any minute, but the sidewalk??
It is supposed to be reasonably nice tomorrow (25F, -5C). Do it once!
And no gloating from you Playa peeps. If the weather up here were nice Playa would still be "a small fishing village".

maybe they just want something to do or exercise. Or maybe they are expecting company.

Pourqoui?

Maybe they think if they get a headstart on it they won't have so much to shovel tomorrow???

maybe it's easier to shovel 3 inches twice than 6 inches once

I shovel during the snow just because I find it easier to deal with before the snow piles up and gets really heavy. I guess it's snowing pretty hard here too, I'm at work and haven't looked out the window for a while.

Yes it is KMS. I am not looking forwad to scraping off my car.....

We were let out of work early today due to worsening road conditions....yeah! Roads were okay until I crossed over into my county and the plows have not been out yet...

But there go my Friday Night plans (again!!!).

I love this snow though. The wet kind. Great to make snowman and have snowball fights!!

Oh...and we pay someone to shovel and plow here.

I have shoveled our walkway @ work today 4 times.

My neighbors think I am a Psychopath. (No, not because I'm a soccer fan.)

I used to live in southern California and I love shoveling snow. It's still a novelty to me.

It's good exercise. The more snow I shovel, the more beer I can drink.

I have lived in Colorado - just north of Gunnison & worked at CBMR ski area. So, I have shoved SNOW. I wish to impart the two greatest words I have come to know about removing snow from one location and moving to another - SNOW BLOWER.
If you don't have one, get one! If you have one, show your kids how to use it. From there stay inside and watch them clear your drive & sidewalk!!!
