Our first winter in New Hampshire my wife was pregnant and I always had to keep the driveway open in case we needed to make a quick dash to the hospital. It snowed 48 inches in January. My daughter was born on Feb 1. It felt like I was shoveling nonstop for the entire month.
Nex winter I had a Ford F350 with an 8 foot Fisher plow on the front. I learned my lesson.
And in 2015 you must have made some money!
