Driveways and Windrows
I don't own a car. I don't drive. But I live in a house that has a driveway, and that driveway has to be kept clear enough to get at least a single car/van/truck/police cruiser/ambulance in and out safely enough. Which, these days, often falls to me, with snowblower and shovel(s).
Overnight, the city's snowplows re-complicated that process. With a metre-tall hard-packed windrow. I think I managed to clear enough of that obstruction, but one of the household shovels had its handle grip snap off in mid-chopdown, and a second is about to have its plastic "blade" break into pieces sooner or later. This is not going to be fun to deal with, I expect.
(Have since found that handle grips are available as a separate product.)
