The girlfriend and I moved into a house not too long ago, and as responsible new homeowners we purchased a snow blower to deal with east coast winters. I refused to shovel our driveway as it’s very long and I’m not a huge fan of manual labor.
We didn’t know just how rewarding owning one would be.
We haven’t met a number of our neighbors as the winter has been harsh and nobody has been outside. It’s hard to greet anybody when you know they just want to go back into the warmth of their home.
However, we had a snow and ice storm earlier in the month, and our next door neighbor Jen hadn’t been home in time to take care of all the ice and snow. It hardened into a solid chunk and made her driveway impassable until it melted.
