Shovel test

Got home last night anticipating the new patio covered with snow and how shoveling would go. 

I am very happy to report that it is easier to shovel than the old sidewalk.  The old sidewalk was narrow and had been pushed up in couple of places.  Though I was used to it and knew exactly where each little step was, it is nice to have a large even surface that I can shovel as wide and where I want.

I tried shoveling the driveway this morning and got it half way done before my hands got too cold.  It was 3 below and the snow had blown off the garage roof and was over a foot deep on the drive.  I'll do the rest of it later.
