When the snow falls in massive amounts -- especially the wet, heavy variety -- intuition says that everyone wishes they had a snow blower. Some people are lucky enough to own one, and even take pity on the shovelers by plowing out their sidewalks or alleys.

Others are stuck with the shovel.

Occasionally, you hear a person say they find shoveling invigorating, but come on. Doesn't everyone want a snow blower -- or not?

Blow my snow. Snow blowing is much easier and quicker than shoveling. Who has the time or desire to shovel their walk or alley for hours? If you live in Wisconsin, investing in a snow blower is a must. You'll never regret it.

Old-school snow removal all the way. Shoveling is great exercise, it's better for the environment and it can be fun. Especially after you're done, and you reward yourself with a piping hot beverage, particularly one with a shot of brandy in it.
