That looks like something from a low budget horror movie.

Felt like we had 5-6" or so in Indianola. Enough that I had to scoop out the patio and walking paths I made for the pups, and then needed to do it again the last time I took them out.
I need a skid loader to move snow. I am running out of room to push it and need to actually move it (preferable scoop and dump in the ponds).
I should have shoveled the snow last night before bed. Luckily the snow was light and fluffy. I'm in a walking boot due to a sprained ankle and I'm not supposed to wear a sock inside the boot. My wife felt sorry for me and actually came out and helped me clear the drive.
People complain about people using their snowblowers at 6 am. What about those that go out at 9:30 at night? I get up at 4:30 so I’m usually headed to bed around that time, so I was a tad upset.
Neighbor was out using his snowblower at 10pm last night and I had trouble getting to sleep. With snowblowers, I don't get too upset because people need to clear it before they go to work.
I do have one neighbor up the street the will run his snow blower 3-4 times during a snowfall. That gets a bit annoying
You use a pickup and blade? I would hire a skid with a blower and blow that stuff way back. Nice part about that is it seams to leave it a little more so you can still get a little more push into it.
I try not to go out before 6am or after 9pm. I was out at 8:30pm last night which is a tad later than I'd like.
I try to instill some goodwill when I do that though. We live on a corner. Last night I did the sidewalks all the way to the other side of the block; so I did two full sides of the block. I also did a small portion of my neighbors driveway. I hope it buys me some grace for running my snowblower that late.
I don't get people getting upset about snowblower noise. Lawn mowers I understand. You don't have to mow your lawn at 5 in the morning to get to work. Clearing your driveway is just a necessity to go places, and snowfall unfortunately can't be scheduled around the times you sleep.
Since the windows are all closed I can usually only barely hear my neighbor's snowblower.
Yep. Not just driveways to get out, but sidewalks for kids to catch the bus.
People would actually be mad if the snow plows didn't come around to clean their street, and those routinely run in the middle of the night. It's just a part of life in the Midwest and really only happens a handful of times each winter.
