Yeah, but blowers sure don't do much when the snow is wet
and heavy, or have been shoved into a wet super-heavy
wall by the city's snow plow truck, blocking the driveway.

Gotta attack by hand, and quickly, before it freezes!

PS: actually, I don't do the whole driveway, just
the part at the top (slopes up to the street) in front
of and around where we keep the car at those times.

And just that is a real bitch, with that snow-plow
truck coming by every 90 minutes or so.
