I have a Robert now so I don't have to do any of that anymore. Good thing because it would probably finish me off. He shovels then uses salt.

Larry, Alabama is way south of me. Why the snow?

when I lived in Mi. and we got a big snow city would tell us we Have to get our cars off the street. That was ok for the lucky few that had a driveway but most didn't. If we didn't move they would cover the cars in snow and give you a ticket and if you did move they piled the snow up blocking you in the driveways. It was a no win situation.

Things like that is what makes you hate snow. The last place I lived, if you didn't get the sidewalks cleared first thing, you would get a fine. I hated that cause I wanted to clear around the house first. The house was set way back from the road and I didn't like trudging through deep snow on a hill that was almost to steep to walk down just so I could clear the side walk first. That was working backwards for me

Yes, once the plow moves it, it's like the snow after an avalanche - packed hard as concrete. Very hard to shift with a shovel. Do you throw salt on the ground where you've cleared so it won't freeze?

We have no plows here on our place, we're too isolated, but after we shovel I do throw salt down. I also shovel after every couple of inches of snowfall. Much easier to shift 2" three or four times than wait until 8" have fallen and try to shift it all at once! Especially a heavy, wet snow, ugh! (If you want to know how to do something done efficiently, ask a lazy person, lol!)

I haven't used any salt.

It's past 9:00 and snow blowers are still going. The noise is really annoying DH who is trying to rest! Doesn't bother me.
