You guys are weird.
Shovelling is done at the coldest time of the year. It’s hard on your back. Lot’s of foot traffic on our sidewalk, so unless you get to it immediately after a light snowfall, you have to scrape and chip at hardened snow and ice. The double-wide driveway on a slope is also a pain. And I live on a plowed street, which churns up furrows of extremely heavy hard-packed snow that I need to shift to clear my driveway.
I have a battery mower that’s light and quiet. The weather is always warm and sunny when I mow, the smell of cut crass is pleasant, and there’s no mowing equivalent of hard-packed snow. And the lawn looks nicer when I’m finished.
I do mow my elderly neighbour’s lawn while I’m at it. But he pays the kids to shovel his sidewalk, because it’s a worse job.
