It would look unsightly if all the other driveways in the neighborhood were shoveled and yours wasn't..

Because the delivery drivers are bunch of sissies.
It’s a rolling driveway, up and down through hills and a swamp.
UPS, the oil company. They’re all chicken.
I’m getting a plow any day.
Believe me, if I wasn’t expecting deliveries over the next few days I wouldn’t have even touched the snow.

Dirt/gravel. I’m out in the sticks.
That's fun to plow.

We all drive gas guzzling macho 4x4 trucks and suv’s.
No problems navigating our rural wonderland.
I only shoveled because I was expecting an oil delivery.
The drivers are chicken footed sissies and use any excuse to do less work.
Probably last and only time this winter.
I should be good on oil until at least mid-late February because we have a wood stove that heats the crap out of the house.
From this point forward it’s just shovel a path to the vehicles.
Redneck living is fun.

Just once I want to see NYC get dumped with two feet and Long Island two inches.

Probably good to get a plow anyway, it'll help you after you move to Maine.

I always wondered... where does all the snow in the city go? My mom thinks they dump it in the river

That's what they do upstate. There's no where else to put it.
