Shovelling Snow

[Sneaky-Pete]

Do you think we can apply for entry into the Winter Olympics, seeing as we can't make the Summer Olympics.

Glover shaft, elk shovel, best shovel 140lbs.

I was on for a total driveway clearance the other day, but halfway through my pre-shovel routine I noticed a couple of grains of gritting salt directly in my eyeline. I asked my girlfriend to clean it, but she refused because it was on the opposite side of the driveway.

Luckily, I managed to keep my concentration and clear up in one visit.

A new discipline has been introduced, threatening to displace the traditional snow shovelling.

The new short form is called rake n broom.

Equipment required: one garden rake as used to rake leaves/grass

and a broom

technique: rake fluffly snow to form nice high path border.

follow through: broom: technique required here is very similar to curling and I feel the Scots will have an inherent advantage with their experienced "broom action".
For those not familar with broom technique. A back and fore motion is required, followed by a good backswing and follow through which removes stubborn patches of snow from your path.

Speaking of new disciplines and formats > I have just heard some rumours about something called “Power Shovelling”. Anyone can confirm that? Clarifications badly needed.

No. It's all hot air - which will cause widespread thawing and it will be over very quickly.

You may have this confused with a minor discipline played by my Canadian friends, called Snow Blowing.

Equipment used: Leaf blower.

Whethere it is shovelling or blowing, several of you can come to my place and get plenty of practice in for free, with cuppa tea thrown in. I live on a corner, so there is quite a lot of practice needed to play properly.

Merry Shovelling to all.

I was aiming for a total clearence of the drive, two shovel fulls to go when the shovel bit into a raised stone in the concrete and I lost the load. Bloody typical, just when you're really motoring you go and get a kick.
Should I replace my concrete drive for a napless tarmac one ?

Looks like my shovelling days are over. The playing equipment has now vanished and I cannot find any local stockists at all.

Anyone want to buy a shovel?

I have a feeling they'll be back in stock soon enough.

you should maintain your equipment after a heavy day's play by use of a power hose to ensure your playing surface is running true and smooth, ready for your next game.

Cannot do that now Janie, cos Mr Frosty has put a stop to it and the hose is solid.

Tried to clear it with a cue, but cue not long enough.
