Yeah, so do I but if we are gonna get snow, then it's better to have some decent snow than this dusting.

I wonder how Beowulf is feeling right about now having to drive his cavalier rather than the Camaro.

I shoveled from 7:30 to 12:30. I'll shovel for a couple more hours later today, most likely.

Yes. Yes I do.

In a few years when everybody forgets about this winter I'll buy one for a few hundred bucks, and I'll have it when we get walloped like this again.

I would consider getting a small plow for my Rodeo if it wasn't 2WD. It carries its own weight fine in the snow but I don't know how well it would plow snow in 2WD.
