But if ya have "Google Earth" you can see what it looks like in the summer.
2781 Waterloo Rd. Mogadore, Ohio 44260
Our driveway is the the first one East of Shroeder Rd. on the North side of the street.
Mike, I bet you walked 5 miles uphill in the snow, both ways going to schools as a kid also.

I don't know why you haven't thought of this Mike, but if you would start a t the other end, it would be downhill all the way.
If you got it like I did last night you can do it all again today.

manual labor back here.
Well we received 16" here as well. Have not started the cleanup yet. Went to get a newspaper this morning around 6:00. Roads not plowed yet. Backed out of driveway put the jeep in 4WD headed down the road and ran square into a 5' drift. Had to put it in 4 LO and back it up.

Post pics when you're done cleaning up. Lets have a contest for you Ohio folks and see who wins the "cleanest snow removal contest". My prediction; ANDREW.

Mike says he did a better job, but I haven't seen any pictures. Talk is cheap.

They had to use a front end loader to clear our road. Plow could not get threw.

Ah man you guys are killing me.
The driveway is up hill all the way, that's not the way I shovel it.

FP, too late for photos, the sun melted the light dusting of snow that was left on the concrete after shoveling. You're right talk is cheap, but why would I lie? I take keeping my driveway clean in the winter very seriously, I have to. If it has any snow on it I can't go up it (since I don't believe in 4 wheel drive).
This has been a 24 year winter ritual for me. If I lived somewhere like Fla. or Calif. I'd probably go thru withdrawl. But I have to admit, becoming a "snow bird" is looking better to me everyday.

Sandman, since you're the man who's responsible for keeping a large portion of "Mid Ohio's" roads passable, I'd have to say "Jane" deservers a Medal. (or at least a new set of golf clubs.

I told her if I get much more overtime, when we go golfing, I could afford to let her ride in the cart, too.
