Shovelling snow is brutal at the best of times; but when you've been hammered with a foot of snow and more, with drifts up to your knees, it's time to call for back-up. Here are 10 reasons why you should've called a snow removal squad:
1. You're heart rate is well beyond target, you're in a deep sweat, and you've barely made it out of your garage.
2. The drifts are so high you've spent more time digging out the dog, or your kids, than actually shovelling snow.
3. While in the throes of fort-building in the snowbanks, one of your kids inadvertently cracked you in the head with one of the garden shovels, rendering you just shy of concussed.
4. Because you really needed to buy that house with the stretch eight-car driveway.
5. The several feet of snow has triggered a long-since forgotten Chionophobia: a fear of snow that lingered for years since that day in middle-school when your friends gave you that massive snow job. You thought you were over it.
6. Because you thought a cheap, smaller snow-blower would do the trick--"How much snow do we really get in Ontario?" your wife reminds you.
7. Because the neighbours on both sides of you went on a joint Caribbean cruise, and you were stupid enough to agree to "look after their driveways for them."
8. You've left it for so long lingering on your driveway that your neighbours are beginning to form a rescue mission to shovel it for you.
9. You just ordered food delivery, and a Honda Civic hatchback won't be able to find your house, let alone get into the driveway.
10. There's a missing person alert for 2 kids, a postal service rep, and a food delivery guy, and they're digging around your driveway.
