People now days just aren't built for this Idaho weather an hard work that comes with shoveling snow. Last few years the winters have been really light, I remember shoveling everyday just to go to work, before an after! New residents an older Idahoans still shoveling their snow thinking an remembering big snow years, thinking they can still do it hurt themselves. We Idahoans are just out of shape, atleast warm up your muscles an do a little at a time ask for help neighbor kids some will shovel for a couple of bucks negotiate price. If anything it will bring us all closer as a whole.
