It Snowed Last Night And The Midwest Shut Down – How can 4-6 inches of snow do that

Global Warming has turned the midwest into a group of handicapped old ladies. I mean I can remember when we would get at least 2 or 3 inches before Thanksgiving, go through a warm period and then get 6-8 inches right before Christmas. It would be considered a light year if we got a couple of feet for the whole season. Now we get 4 inches and the WHOLE WORLD shuts down. But first I gotta say:

This is what I woke up to:

So I got out the old metal snow shovel and proceeded to clear the sidewalk, my car and the back porch. Snow shovels however have gotten a whole lot better over the years:

Two Stage Snow Blowers Ergonomic Snow Shovels John Deere Snow Blower Snow Ice Snow Tools

When George Bailey first appears in the Christmas classic, It's a Wonderful Life, he and a bunch of other boys are sliding down a snowy hill on their snow shovels (I guess their parents couldn't afford sleds or toboggans). That's about the only fun use to which snow shovels have ever been put, as far as I know.

The human frame simply isn't designed for extended periods of snow shoveling. It was with these thoughts in mind that I recently tested three different Ames True Temper snow shovels:

  1. An Avalanche Ergo Plus ergonomic snow shovel
  2. A Snow Blazer wide-grip snow shovel
  3. A Penguin VersaGrip snow pusher
