Yeah plastic is ok for fluffy powder but that’s about it. The steel IS heavy but it gets the job done, stand up straight and scoop/toss scoop/toss scoop/toss. Hunching over with those short handles is for the birds and the big scoop is too much snow. I once lived east of Lake Ontario.

I knew someone would come along with your #2 solution. I thought of it myself a few decades ago, and never looked back.

I think I’m going to try retrofitting my shovel with that. A piece of rope with a loop in it ought to do the trick.

Mr. Mercat gets a six foot dowel and duck tapes it to the handle of the shovel. He has made a study of snow shovels and knows that they have short handles because it’s easier to ship. He has a patent on one of the blades.

But when you melt the snow, the water refreezes into ice.
