One of my pet peaves is that I can't stand it when the kids pull in unexpected and makes tire tracks before I can get out there and start shoveling. I usually go out and try and shovel 3" at a time it only takes me about a half an hour. If we get a blizzard then I get the kids to come in and plow if I can't keep up with it. We have only had about 3-4 inches this season and I couldn't be any happier. Thanks Jay Hi Alex,

The plastic ones don't work very well, especially at getting the tracks off the driveway. Steel blades are more for pushing the snow, which for me is ideal. I rarely pick it up and move it. I've also seen suggestions of applying non-stick cooking spray to the blades of shovels, but in my experience it only makes a difference if the snow is wet.

It works well. I started doing that after the first storm and have done it ever since. Another thing I found is that you can generally keep walk ways done using a stiff straw broom ;-) That is great advice. It works well.
