Reply to comment by JonWood007 in How can you live in PA and hate this?! It’s absolutely stunning! by Jacey0527

Infinitely better than mowing my dumbass lawn twice per week in 90° heat with 1,000% humidity.

Who mows TWICE A WEEK? I mow like once every 2-3 weeks.

Either way, id still say that shoveling is worse than mowing the lawn especially during a massive showstorms. Mowing the lawn is about on par with 3 inches of snow IMO. Anything beyond that is like....no. And given we can get up to 2-3 feet some storms...ugh.

Where I live in SWPA, it rains constantly and the grass grows so fast that I have to or it'd be too long for my push mower to handle it. Plus it's hilly here, so I have to use the push mower, as a riding mower would roll over and kill me. I hate it more than any other chore ever.

Push mower. Get something gas/battery powered. There's a huge middle ground between push mowers and riding ones.

It's gas powered, but I have to push it. Self propelled are too heavy and slip on the steep hills. Electric wouldn't last for the job and are similarly heavy, plus I don't have the money to throw at it. So I got the lightest gas mower for the job, and it sucks, but it's what does the job.

Well I don't have a big enough yard to justify a driving one.

Meanwhile digging your car out from a 2 foot solid wall of ice while dodging traffic is....less than fun.
