Oh I can dig it out in half an hour but to do that plus everything else to do a proper job of clearing would take a minimum of an hourI live in the sticks of NH on the outside of a 90 degree corner, wide sweep but is pinched by my lawn coming toward my driveway - lawn is about 16" higher than the road at that point and only about a 2' shoulder. So you wanna talk about a bank? (That's the actual term, by the way.)
Worst I ever see might have been this year, when we got a 2'+ storm back in December. Bank was 8 or 10 feet deep, and pushing 5 feet tall (honey is all of 5'4", and could barely see over, so...).
This normally wouldn't be a problem - I've got a 1-ton Dodge with a 9' Fisher on the front, and with half a load a wood in the dump I could damn near push a house off their foundation.
But, I had blown the front driveshaft at honey's house toward the end of the storm, and needdd to get into my yard to get the spare I had. So, no plow and needed to shovel that bastid.
Now granted, there was two of us there, but it wasn't exactly like there was two of us doing an equitable amount of shoveling. But, she certainly tries and works as hard as she can. Still, we had enough cleared in about 20 minutes to pull honey's truck the yard.
Pretty sure honey would out shovel you without breaking a sweat. Either move somewhere that you don't have to deal with it or hire someone who knows what they're doing and doesn't cry about doing manual labor.
Fuck, this thread is 10 ply...
So you find the snow walls annoying too?
