I use the old fashioned snow shovel. If I wanna get quickly done I use the snow blower. Also for those snowed in days the neighbor down the street comes and plows.

Snow? What snow? We don't get snow in Bakersfield, CA only sunshine. But let me ask you midwesterners this question...What do you all do to get rid of smog

.

Seriously, I lived in Kansas as a kid and my parents owned a Subaru and that thing never got too stuck that it had to be pulled out. High centered once in snow and my dad made me and my brother hand dig us out but that was it. I do love the snow for playing in but not for working in.

Hey, you try living where it never gets cold enough to put on more than a sweatshirt and deal with the sunshine every....single....day. It hardly ever rains here and never snows here, just sunny warm days and that's all we get. It's hard to deal with sometimes

That is cheap. I equate them to weeds. Start off, quit due to not being able to turn a profit and then die out. Next year a new crop of folks who do it way to cheap come up and the cycle repeats.
