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

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 But I have to admit, if the snow isn't deep I've had a tendency to simply walk and drive over it and wait for it to melt.

@ChipmunkErnie used a frontend loader every winter to clear a two acre pad. 🙃

@DeWayfarer I drove a dump truck with a plow on the front and a sander in the back and drove all over town.

@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.
