Yeah, I came to this thread with sympathy, I also have an infant and I shovel my 220 foot driveway every time the snow is too heavy for my snowblower…which has been the last 2 storms. I was out at 9 last night and 4 this morning. It sucks, but it’s necessary. I took some ibuprofen and I’ll still cover my baby shift tonight.

But, if I ever found myself in a situation like OP where I couldn’t do it on my own, I have 4 guys with plows and sanders in my contact list that I could call (and frequently do after we get ice storms to lay down some sand for traction.).

OP: if you read this, I realize this comment sounds sarcastic, it’s probably the dad brain… but genuine advice is this year you should get out in your community, make some friends. Join your local emergency service volunteer organization, half the guys there plow for a living, and now you have someone to call in a pinch 😂
