2. Yah...no. I'm 70 years old.

I have a 24 x 60 foot driveway and city sidewalks to clear after every snowstorm here in Minnesota. We often get 8-10 inches of snow and sometimes a lot more. I hand shovel when it's only 2-3" deep, but I'm not doing that for a 10" snowfall.

I also clear a neighbor's driveway and walks. She's in her 80s and can't afford to have someone do it.

I'm not hand shoveling any more. I'm not interested in a heart attack in the middle of the winter. But thanks for your suggestion. Really.
