Put your snow shovel in your car.

It makes digging out so much cheaper and easier. That is all. 

[Perd Hapley]

Put your snow shovel in your own dang car. Don't tell me what to do! 

[Frank Castle]

If my car is buried in snow, its stay in the #$%^ same spot! 

I not digging !!!!

That's all well and good unless your car is in the middle of the street.

Masybe I'm just dumb, but what good is your snow shovel going to be to you when it is in the car that is buried in the snow?  Wouldn't it be better to have that snow shovel inside the house where it will not also get buried in the snow?  That way you can pick it up, shovel your way out to the car, shovel out the car, and go back inside the house where any decent person would be when having their heart attack.

Kids these days!  Think they know everything?  Hah!

stay safe.

Those are for fighting Russians.

Those are for fighting Russians.

For fighting Russians, or for Russians who fight? Maybe you should keep a Russian in your trunk and let him dig you out of the snow next time.

The trick is to put your snow shovel in your car, then drive south until somebody asks what the heck that thing is?

[Jamisjockey]

I put my snow shovel in the trash the day I left VA.

Also, a shitload of kitty litter.

Redundant statement is, well, redundant!   

[230RN]

Ok, new kitty litter. :)

I don't go out in conditions where I might get stuck somewhere else any more (retired), but when I'm parked in my parking lot, I put an old broom across the hood (bonnet) of my car with the handle sticking out a foot or so, so I can grab it and start pushing snow off the car. Then I can open it and get my snow shovel, but that's rarely needed.  In icy-snowy conditions, I keep a can of spray windshield ice melter by my front door so it stays warm and the pressure stays up.  I bring it out to the car with me.  Four wheel drive Subie, so it gets me out of the crap once I get the car cleared off.

Now that I'm off the chain gang, I watch the weather and before anything snotty hits, I go out and provision up.  The last week-and a half of below zero weather, I stayed in the house for a whole week.

(HINT: I goofed one day and had my car pressure-washed and it went well below freezing that night --no snow, just effing cold.  The water from the pressure wash got injected into the locks and I had to go back in the house to get the windshield de-icer to even get the key in the keyslot.)

That's where that bottle of Vodka in your car comes in handy.

I've got 400# of sand and a shovel in the truck.

[French G.]

My favorite snow shovel is an  al-u-min-ium(sorry, been reading too much F1 news tonight, feeling British) grain scoop. The one time I needed to dig something out the most handy shovel was my Glock shovel because it was short. I had driven the poor truck to the point that snow was packed hard under the frame enough to let all 4 wheels freely spin at idle. So I got to lie on my back for two hours and dig snow away from the frame enough to reverse course and retreat. So yes, you can drive an F-150 through 4 ft. of drifts as long as you are going downhill and don't stop. Damn flat ground got me.

[RoadKingLarry]

Flat ground and drifts is what got my Cherokee a couple years ago when we had our record setting blizzard. I had to dig out a couple of times. I carry a flat point shovel with a medium length D hande.
I haven't had the opportunity to test the M715 in any serious snow yet but with 12"+ of ground clearance I'm probably good to go. I'll still carry sand weight and a shovel.

[41magsnub]

I took my land cruiser out last year in the drifts and didn't manage to get it stuck.  Pulled out several other rigs though.  3 tons of weight, good tires, chains, and lockers gets a guy through a lot.  The closest I could get to stuck was no longer moving forward, then backing up and taking another run at the drift to break through.

I have several shovels in the rig.
1.  A flat pointed narrow D handled concrete shovel because it fits under the cargo platform.  It stays in there full time.
2.  My old Army e-tool
3.  In the winter I throw in a steel D handled feed shovel for moving large volumes of snow.
4.  In the summer I strap a standard round point shovel to the rack.

You guys in the north should think about this.  After all, winter is only 5 days away................chris3

I had this horrible frozen stuff on my windshield this morning. I think it's called frost!

A couple weeks ago, all of the outside vehicles were frozen shut 

First rain, then snow, and then twenty below.

Took me about a week to get everything opened up and started.

[MechAg94]

Why would one need a shovel for snow?  It never gets more than 1/2" deep and that only once in 20 years.  I guess y'all live up there in them frozen wastelands of the North.

Yep.  Live, Freeze, and Die.

I figured you would include "fly" in there also.
