Thank you for the sacrifice. I keep putting off picking up a new shovel.
Taking one for the team!!
Thank you 🙌🏼
Blessings on you and those you love ❤️
Picking up the mantle then? I'll put mine on freecycle and use the garage space for a new bike, thx!
I should definitely buy those new snow boots then...
Honestly I kinda hope we get a little as crazy it sounds. I like a bit of snow . Wouldn’t be too surprised if we didn’t though on account of recent increasingly mild winters and the purchase of snow gear lol
I don't remember last year as much, but 2 years ago the winter was flipping awful.
I was working in logistics management at the time and it was a complete shit show trying to get anything moving because of the weather.
Thank you OP
Yer doin the lords work. Thank you 🙏
Happened the year I bought my dad a snowblower for Christmas. Had one mild storm >1”, so I threw a snowball at it just so it remembered what it was there for.
"recent mild winters" seems to be a continuing trend, as do 3 month long extreme heatwaves and drought. hm.
Thank you for reminding me to buy a shovel.
What does it take to ensure snow? Do I have to go around and steal everyone's new gear every year? Come on give me some snow!
I always laugh when I watch the news after the first snowfall of the year. There is always some reporter at Home Depot proclaiming that all shovels are sold out. What the heck are people doing with their shovels that they need a new one every year. I have shovels that are over 20 years old and still work perfectly fine LOL.
It's not crazy. Some of us love snow! Winter without snow is just depressing.
Nothing to see there! Keep moving along.. look a new iPhone!
The fact you spent all that money for us. We did nothing to deserve your sacrifice, yet you gave us so much. Someday children will hear tales of u/ReverseMermaidMorty and how he stepped forward and bought snow-prepping equipment so we didn't have to.
Yup climate change is what i was getting at there. Don’t get me started on those god awful summer heatwaves lmao they’re miserable. I remember I used to look forward to summer, not so much anymore
Agreed! I like winter both with or without snow but having at least some snow definitely makes it better in my opinion
right! just put on a a dedicated winter set and no winter to be found s
I like a bit of snow. I do not like winters like 2010 when I had a five foot drift in front of my front door, which already 5 feet off the ground.
No no. I got this guy's. I dropped over 400 in prepping my quad and fixing its plow. I'm sure not a flake will stick this winter
Honestly the cheapo blue plastic snow shovels lose their edge after the first storm and are torn to shreds by the third. That's if the handle doesn't come off and need to be sheet rock screwed on through the plastic.
Put your nice winter jacket back in storage
Nothing like sitting inside with a hot drink, cozy pajamas, a couple candles burning and Christmas decorations on while it snows outside. I'm also a big sucker for walking around early in the morning or after dark when it's snowing and absolutely no one else is outside. So peaceful and relaxing.
I haven't even gotten it out yet!
I still have summer tires on my Miata bc I’ve been too lazy to change them. So it’s gonna snow this week. Check Mate.
Your the real MVP, many blessings upon thee
>The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take shovels, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good shovel cost fifty dollars. But an affordable shovel, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of shovels Vimes always bought, and wore until the blade was so dull that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good shovels lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a shovel that'd still be keeping his sidewalk dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap shovels would have spent a hundred dollars on shovels in the same time and would still have snow in his driveway. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes "Shovels" theory of socioeconomic unfairness.
Yessirree, thems sure is a mighty oddly biggly wiggly coweenkydink 👨🌾
Well at least you wont need to buy new windshield wipers after you accidentally let them go once over the iced up window because you thought it was just slushy and would push it away...but really it was jagged ice that now causes the wipers to get everything except 3 arced lines...
I miss Sir Pratchett.
Dude! TF is wrong with you!?! You don’t say that shit out loud! You totally just jynxed it 🤣
I bought my first snowblower when I was married. Left it after the divorce. I would get bombed every winter and curse my luck. Broke down and got another one. It sat in the garage for a year and a half before I had to use it. I was so worried it wouldn't work (never started it).
I mean, no matter what happens now I’m all set 😎
Planned Obsolescence
Sure - we’ll now you gotta come and clean the rest of our driveways next time it snows LOL!
Did you ever know that you're my hero
Oh thanks. I'll buy mine next year, we should be good til '24.
Right? Everyone complains about the snow but no one moves to where it doesn’t snow.
Ok, I won't worry
Sincerely, someone who moved to LA
Thanks Rick

It’s beautiful when it falls and it’s beautiful to look out. It’s horrible to shovel and clean and 2 days later it looks like shit
You’re going to jinx it!
Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up!!

Yeah personally I don’t mind shoveling and snow removal , but I do hear you on the aftermath. That pollution-infused slush mixture isn’t fun for sure
Still though I think the beauty, serenity, and fun snow brings outweighs all that. Especially since it’s slowly becoming more and more rare these days
I can confirm. I also bought a snow blower and a bulk order of pet save ice melt.
This isn’t the one I got but it’s the same idea. I have an SUV so it helps push snow off the tough to reach places.
new snow tires on my tiguan. and fully serviced This Beast def not going to snow at all.
Thank you for your service.
Did all of the pre storage maintenance on my garage queen convertible and replaced the battery, wheel bearings, and tires on my 15 year old 200k mile suv at a cost similar to the vehicles value. We are assured no snow.
Christine Todd Whitman, is that you???
Bro why are you trying to speak it into existence. Now I have to buy a new shovel.
I have a cheap-ass plastic shovel and a combo snow brush/ice scraper somewhere in my basement. BUT my mom put the salt bag out already so we shouldn't see any snow until February.
took one for the team - thank you
Pretty much. It was almost 5 years from the time we purchased our snow blower before we got any snow plow worthy snow in our neighborhood. Everything else was totally manageable by salt. Naturally, when we went to finally use it, it wouldn't start.
Thank you for your purchase. You did a great thing for homeowners and drivers alike.
I bought 7 new snow blowers because I didn't want to do any snow removal this year
I'll set it in stone, by getting mine fixed this weekend.
Shoo, you should have told me that before I spend all this money on Black Friday.
Because shovels made 20 years ago generally last longer than shovels made in the last five years or so.
But between now and next week there's gonna be a doozie!
I miss those walks
Just ask the guy who put a plow on his ATV.
How long is your driveway?
Well, congratulations! Good for you! You're safe then.
Its not that everyone's buying them, its that everyone who needs one is. They don't have ten thousand snow shovels at every location so its not hard to run out
Correct. It’s been pretty snowless winters for past few years. I am not sure why all the complaining.
Maybe we should sell the salt reserves too
Can confirm. When we moved into our new house I bought my husband a shiny new snowblower. He didn’t even get to use it for two years.
My absolute lack of preparedness disagrees
I remember i bought mountain creek triple play passes and it never snowed a few years back.
just measured on google maps. 240ft from house to street
You take a piece of aluminum flat bar stock, maybe about 1/8" thick and you put a nice bevel maybe 30 degrees on it with a dremel, a sander, or even use a rasp/file.
So its you kinda make a chisel edge blade that youre gonna bolt to the front of your snowshovel. It will take all the beating and is replace-able, regrind-able.
I hate snow but I stay for the NJ pizza and bagels.
Thanks
You might be remembering a February more so than a November/December.
