Are you a person who shovels snow or one who pays others to shovel it for you?

I have never paid anyone to nor paid anyone to do my yard work. I like shoveling it, it's great exercise. I have had help with large heavy projects though.

In my youth I not only shoveled it but drove the snow plow around town. Then I shoveled myself. Then I bought a snow-blower. Then we hired some to shovel it. Now we have a Sno-Joe that I use. Getting old ain't fun.

@ChipmunkErnie Maybe I was behind you at some point. 🙃

I've lived all over the USA over the decades.

@DeWayfarer This was back in the 1970s. Best thing about the job was if we drove more than eight hours straight the town bought meals for us, whatever we wanted, at the local diner.

@ChipmunkErnie 1978 I was in Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and southern parts of South Dakota. 😆

We use to have it done for use when we where renting but now that we own a house I'll probably find someone to do it for us here as well.

I live in an apartment complex so I guess I'm paying someone else to shovel it for me. Or plow it rather.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
You won't see this.

Yet I once shoveled a quarter mile of snow to the main road, all by myself, when others refused to help. 🙃

@DeWayfarer If someone’s not going to see it, what’s the use of telling them that?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@RedBaron believe it or not there is an audience! 🙃

Just the original questioner won't see it.

I would never ask (or pay) others to do what I can do myself. So I shovel. Also will shovel out older neighbors who can't. Because I can.
ToLivePeacefully · 31-35, M
Well, I'm the person who has never seen the snow in real life.


If it's something I know , I'll do it even if it's a lot of manual work.

If it's not something I know , I'll get someone to do it.
@ToLivePeacefully That was never a part of my childhood experiences, either. It’s only snowed one day in my entire life in my hometown (Feb 5, 1976).
Ynotisay · M
@ToLivePeacefully Your call but I would HIGHLY suggest being in snow at some point in your life. So if you take vacations I think that would definitely be something to do.

Mt boyfriend does it for me-- in his bare feet no less.👣😮🥶 He's fine,😄 but I'm glad it's not me.😄

I shovel the walkway. Who knows, might get help with the new neighbors though.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
I'm the person who would rather have somebody shovel it for me but can't afford it so I guess I'm doing it myself.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
I'm the person who doesn't need to shovel snow. The city takes care of it.
AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F
In texas i dont have that problem. Snow is pretty rare where i'm from if we do get it its not enough to shovel
HowtoDestroyAngels · 46-50, M

AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F

Depending on how much money I have I don't shy away from work but I don't try to create more for myself if I don't have to
Iwillwait · M
I did that myself.
our landscaper does snow plowing in winter and takes care of it for us
val70 · 51-55
I, myself and me
HowtoDestroyAngels · 46-50, M
I shovel, but most of the time I use a snowblower.
YoMomma ·
I live in Florida.. snow is a rare delight here 😅
Shovel at times for the exercise .. break the snowblower out when things get serious
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
I take great pride in shoveling my snow.
Ferric67 · M
I’ve never minded rolling up my sleeves and getting physical
I used to shovel, now I pay for it to be shovelled.
bowman81 · M
I shovel and use the snowblower.
Pretzel · 70-79, M
I moved where people ask what that funny thing is in my garage (the snow shovel)
I prefer somebody else do it, snow seems to be the bane of my existence
nedkelly · 61-69, M
No snow wear I live

Where I live we dont get enough snow to shovel
LegendofPeza · 61-69, M
I'd rather be a pusher than a shover.
lissah · 36-40, F
Lol i dont own a shovel. I pay if it doesnt melt the next day.
fun4us2b · M
I shovel and cut my own lawn.
BillyMack · 46-50, M
I’d be the shoveler
SlippingAway · 46-50, F
We rarely ever get enough snow here to have to shovel
Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M
Snow blower
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
What is snow?
Strictsir · 26-30, M
@Thevy29 I'm racking my brains too, trying to remember what it is! Oh yeah - the stuff I slipped and fell on a few years back, nearly breaking my wrist aargh!
Neither. We don’t get snow in Florida
Holden · 31-35, M
Nah, I shovel myself.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
I'm definitely someone who would pay someone else. It would be just my luck that would be the day of my first heart attack.
BlobbyMcBlobface · 56-60, M
If a job's worth doing...
DDonde · 31-35, M
I do it, never paid to have someone do it
lissah · 36-40, F
@JimboSaturn omg. I'd be like see y'all in the spring. 😂
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@lissah It all melts kinda gradually, but yes sometimes if it gets really hot, it can be a big slushy mess!
@JimboSaturn Looks like my area,
