Keep all the snow on nearby mountains is how we do it. It is close by if you want it.
To quote the former mayor of Bridgeport Connecticut when questioned why he didn’t put snow removal in the city budget:
“The good Lord put it there, the good Lord will take it away”
I have one of those but with a much bigger “bucket”. The handle shape allows you to lift a lot of snow in one scoop.
FYI, a little Pam cooking spray on the shovel helps when the snow is really sticky.
I’ve been blessed with a pretty good back but man did I screw something shoveling a foot of wet cement snow in a late season storm last year. Still not completely normal.
A power snow blower is better.
I need one of those handles on a grain scoop for snow.
I have a Toro power shovel. Shoveling snow off the driveway is like vacuuming a living room carpet. So nice.
“A University of Calgary grad student says a “goose-neck” shovel is the best way to deal with snow.”
Never heard of a snow blower?
20+ years ago, Mayor Marion Barry of Washington DC, when asked about a blizzard that closed down DC in February, what his snow removal plan was responded: “April.”
He wrote me back asking me if I will one day come to appreciate and miss the times when I was 10 and was up working with him until 1am rebuilding the transaxle on his Sears garden tractor... or our FAVORITE... “Desludging the oil tank”. We all grew up being subjected to dad's “hobby” of full annual teardowns of the oil burners for the hot water heater and furnace...
I wrote back reminiscing how all those years of holding droplights perfectly still... until my arms were about to fall off didn't really seem to prepare me for how unappreciative the work is of people that do or make. Seeing this post... all I can think is... shovelling snow? THAT'S WHY WE PUT UP WITH WOMEN AND HAVE KIDS... SO THEY CAN SHOVEL SNOW WHILE I AM REBUILDING THE OIL BURNER FOR THE HOT WATER HEATER! Hahahaha!
The most painless way of snow removal is an endless bank account to hire grunts to do it!
#2, don’t live where it snows, EVER!!!!!!
They need one with a teaspoon on the end of it.
“Shovel handle key to painless snow removal: researcher”
Nope. Powered snow blower is the key to painless snow removal.
That photo shows a piece of junk. It looks to be either aluminum or plastic plus has a short handle with a loop on the end.
You need steel.
Something like this

You want a good shovel, find a straight wooden handle, wide steel bladed snow "pusher"........
The handle ain't gonna break and the shovel head ain't gonna bend or break either. It'll last you a lifetime.......
Gotta go shovel snow now, see ya...........

Perhaps the best invention since the Ames Bend!
Excellent invention.
I think I’ll get one to shovel the snow from around my hovel.
Oh wait — there isn’t any snow around my hovel.
Never mind.
Fixed my snow shovel problem. Moved to Phoenix.
flamethrower would probably work better.
