The cost is ridiculous...we have 3 - one is very old which I hang onto if there is ice, one is 6 yrs old and has a tiny crack which I'm hoping doesn't become a large crack, and the other is a couple of years old that mom got on sale but it is useless if there is more than an inch of snow.

Good day playing in the snow with my niece and then snuggling as she read me a book.
 
Dad had a "good" one and then he'd buy a new one every couple of years.

Was explaining to my niece today how eggs hatch and she thinks Gramma needs a pet chicken in the house!
 
Years ago the Co-op Grocery store used to have a hardware department. I bought a nice snow shovel with a steel blade for around $20. I think it must be around 18 or 19 years and it still does a good job. I think this shovel may outlast me! :)
 
An exciting day. I found an article I had never seen before. It's an interview with Robert Peck who is now Canada's ambassador to Greece. (or he was when this article was published). I taught him in his BA - and he begin the interview
with very kind words about me.
Natural, of course. I've been watching for similar thoughts from one of my Hong Kong students who is now one of the wealthiest men in China.
 
This got me thinking about my childhood. I lived in a second-storey flat with an outdoor staircase. And I can't remember that we ever had a shovel. I guess we just stomped down (with a very careful stomp and holding onto the railing).
When it came time to play in the snow, the nearest place was the Montreal city dump. There were lots of little hills of garbage to slide on.
 
You probably had a broom.

I have always lived somewhere that got a "serious" winter; I still do. Not as bad as some places down east, but a distinct snow belt region. I have, thus far, resisted getting a snowblower, but may be forced to it in the next year or so.

Neighbours on each side of us have snowblowers and do our sidewalk when the snow is really deep.
 
No need for snowblowers here but I do laugh at the neighbour down the street. He uses his leaf blower to clean the snow off his car.
 
Happy 7th Day of Christmas!
Forgot to mention yesterday that our snow is too light and fluffy to make snow forts.
