Weather here in Altoona, PA has been all mixed up...one week we were buried in snow, to day it wa sunny and warm, up in the 40's.
I best watchout, we might get buried again.
Last time, we were without a snow shovel.
Now, I'm well prepare...one thing I noticed, as soon as it starts to snow, men go outside with their snow shovels and start digging through what little snow there might be.
Yet, I noticed the wisdom of why they do all of that shoveling...it makes easier to dig again.

It must be passed down.
