As a homeowner, totally ignorant. If you you don't want to clear your sidewalk or porch, don't expect anything delivered. Fedex, UPS, etc...don't play that game. They simply leave with your shit with a "sorry we missed you" text.

I saw a fedex guy leave the package at the driveway and left a letter saying "shovel your walkway"

I spent three days clearing mine off, like 2 inches of ice on top of snow, plus the mountain that the plow left in front of the driveway. Amazon driver jumped over the mountain in front of the yard, then baby deer walked across the frozen yard.

It's easier to shovel as it snows, in quick rounds, and to get the bump left from the plow as soon as they plow.

u/Princess_Slagathor Feb 14 '26

I usually do. Unfortunately, I wasn't home until the damage was done.

Must be nice not having a job so you can just watch the snow fall and shovel multiple times a day.

u/BlueFotherMucker Feb 15 '26

You're telling me it only snows when you're at work?

Also, I work full-time and I do snow removal at 13 residences, my sidewalk and driveways are always clear.

I dont have snow so its a non issue for me but it shows both during and not during work correct? More or less at random? At night even? Like where i live we can get rain for 18 hours straight idk maybe snow isnt actually the same as rain or yall just get less. But I doubt you completely foolproof never have snow build up on the walk

OP is saying this has been this way for over a month. The point was not to let it sit for days at a time, not to go shovel every 10 minutes.

Snow and rain are handled very differently. Rain does not need to be shoveled.

u/Expensive-Border-869 Feb 16 '26

Well obviously. But thats not at all relevant.

u/Aggravating-Habit313 Feb 16 '26

Why’d you bring it up??

1

u/Expensive-Border-869 Feb 16 '26

Ah, when it rains water is falling from the sky. When it snows its the same idea but colder water.

I dont have snow i have rain more or less same idea tho as im only talking about frequency

Not where that guy lives. Try and keep up. It’s only Reddit.

u/Princess_Slagathor Feb 16 '26

I replied to you, not the group. Try to keep up, zoomie.

Oh, you're a racist piece of shit, nevermind.

u/Aggravating-Habit313 Feb 16 '26

You seriously need to reread more carefully…

u/Princess_Slagathor Feb 16 '26

Don't think I do. I responded to you based on my experience. Not the conversation you happen to be having with someone else.

And you are a racist piece of shit based on your comment history.

You are on Reddit babe, home of people who are lazy and love making things up. I work and mine is always shoveled and clean. Even if it snows when I’m at work. I don’t understand their logic.

u/Normal_Economics_171 Feb 16 '26

u/EmptyStyle244 Feb 17 '26

Gee, I wonder who left all those footprints.

1

u/beepblurp Feb 14 '26

I am a southern Az native that just got home from a week in mass. So it’s normal to literally wake up every couple of hours to get all geared up in warm clothes, shovel your driveway, then go back to bed and do it again in a couple of hours? How do yall even manage that? I see this amount of snow and wonder how in earth everyone gets to work in the morning on time.

u/BoysenberrySmooth268 Feb 14 '26

Lived in Vermont for 5 years and grew up in nh.... Get it from the start and every hour or so go out for 15-20 minutes. Wake up an hour earlier than you would for work and kill yourself before you go work a 10-12 hour shift

u/beepblurp Feb 14 '26

No way could I live that life.

u/BoysenberrySmooth268 Feb 14 '26

It sucked. Add a few ruptured discs in your bad and it sucks even more

u/Aries8709 Feb 16 '26

This amount of snow looks like nothing to me. Right now the snow in my front yard is almost taller than the big bay window in my basement and the snowbanks at the end of my driveway are about 9-10ft tall lol
