I am certain that my back would have given out at least once by now if I had to hand-shovel the entire driveway. Even with the clean-up shoveling that I've been doing, my back has been giving warning signs. I feel that getting Scarlet has been a significant improvement to the quality of my life, especially considering the amount of snow we have received.
In fact, I'm running out of places to put the snow. From the outset, I pushed the snow as far as I dared--sometimes getting Scarlet stuck in the process. On more than one occasion, I have gone out and just worked on pushing the accumulated piles as far back as I can--again, getting Scarlet stuck a few times when I get overzealous. There's just not much more space where I can push the snow we've been getting.
With temperatures in the negative teens in the forecast for tomorrow night and another round of snow on the way a the head of next week, it looks like I might need to use Scarlet at least through the end of this month.
