Snow! Oh No!
Permalink  

Here is what my youngest daughter, who still lives in Wisconsin, recently sent to me:

I found a better way to shovel last night. Get 2 beers, place one in the snow bank at the end of the driveway & the other one near the garage's snow bank. Make one pass down the driveway, take a drink. Make pass back up the driveway, take a drink. Beer stays extremely cold & then I can throw empties in the recycle bin on way back into house. However, this process is not able to be used in the morning before work :)
 
So even though I am only an Honorary Canuck (grandparents on my father's side having immigrated from Quebec Province, eh?) (and having hung out here plenty), I am thinking that for y'all who cannot afford a snowblower and have a smallish driveway to clear, this might be the technique of choice, eh?

Mine would take at least 3 beers at the bottom, and 4 beers at the top!

That was a cool suggestion   

I imagined loaving some beers at the end of the driveway

HOPING the neighbors would clean out the drive for the beer  wink

He's on Vancouver island, not Vancouver, LOL. That's funny cuz we only got 2 inches an hour and a half south, but 1/2 south of us got hit with a foot as well.
