They cant stay in their lanes when theres no snow on the ground . Now they just make their own lane. 4 becomes 2.

I get you can't see the lines but if the road had 4 lanes yesterday, it probably still has 4 lanes today.
You expect too much of people.

The two set of tracks visible in the snow are the lanes now.

We left for Mexico yesterday, our timing couldn't have been worse. Good news is, we were only delayed 3 hours and actually made it but it was a loooooong day. Very happy to be here. Leave home during a blizzard, step off the plane to glorious warmth and humidity.

I shovel lots, but weirdly enjoy it
I watch the video on my doorbell cam a bunch of times of the shoveling service doing my walks and driveway.

I shovel lots and enjoy it too. I'm not an outdoor type in winter so it forces me to get outside and do something active. Throw some airpods on and it's nothing.

Plus as I get a older I think multiple times with lighter loads is a better option for my back than trying to kill myself trying to do it all in one shot.

The worst is when there are four tracks but they choose the middle two.

Dion just trolling away waiting for someone to go after the low hanging fruit and sarcastically ask him if this post means he shovelled his own sidewalk 3 times in the last 24 hours. Well Dion I’m sorry to burst your bubble but some of us choose to act like grownups so no one is going to be taking the bait.

I don't have to shovel mine. My street belongs to a HOA and we pay to have our sidewalks and driveways shoveled. The couple I shovels for is in their late 70's. Is that okay?

If you don’t tell people you shovelled a seniors place, did you actually?

I want me one o' them robotic remote-control lawn mower/snow shovelers, where you can control it from the comfort of your front door.

They really should have to sign and abide by the same NDA as when you PB a marathon.

I will say it again...'Snowbegone Kenobi' is a genius name for a snow-plow.

Props to whomever came up with that one.
