I have one word, "shovel".

We are getting seriously snowed in, I will be out working along my
"light infantry" tonight.

I did go get my big plastic shovel out of the shed. It has a short handle
with a t grip on there. It also has a very wide shovel portion. It is very
disproportionate, and I'm sure it was a spendy special shovel. I found it
on the side of the road. I have seen people at ski resorts take these and
ride them down to the bottom of the lift to get back after their shift.
They point the handle downhill and sit in the shovel, steering with their
feet. Looks fun, and they fly. Anyway, I shoveled about ten feet enough
for the dogs to get out the back door and get to the yard.

I don't do shoveling very much anymore. Health stuff.


I am looking for a shovel like this, to push light but deep snow.

Here ya go, Ig:

I have it from a lady who used to live in Wyoming that this is the
piece de resistance of shovels in -40F.
