Snow Shoveling

My wife offhand meantioned this morning that it would make a good sport and I got to thinking.
So many people today have gone to snow blowers that they have forgotten the fine points of using a shovel.

Good suggestion Shagbark. Would there be a special category for snowblowers? Could someone with a shovel compete against a blower? Or is there no competition?

We're thinking getting to work on time on public transport on a snowy day could be turned into a competitive sport...

Round here we don't get much snow. I've certainly never seen a snow blower. Hadn't even heard of them before.

There is, of course, the annual Christmas Day dip in Dublin Bay. Very popular. I've never done it, though.

Sorry, have had to yikes the above. Can't be seen to be recommending any particular snowblowers here. Not a sentence we've had the occasion to have to write before...
