Having been raised in Michigan I have a one word answer for your question: shovels.
Which brings up a sore subject. When I was in high school we got a blanket of snow, so I went out and started clearing off the driveway. I was getting the job done. I don't know what the problem was, but my Dad came out and told me that I was doing it wrong. Now tell me....how do you shovel snow wrong? I still remember that over 50 years later.
Parents always have a better way of doing anything. Erie is a nice place to be...in the summertime on the shores of lake Erie.
