I’m not sure about the proper etiquette when it comes to snow removal from ones driveway. I grew up in the southwest and it was never an issue. The snow fell last night and a few inches are covering my driveway. I got out the snow shovel and started at it. After a few minutes I hear my neighbor crank up his blower, nice if you have it but I like the exercise.

After 10 minutes he rolls the snow blower over and says something that I can’t hear over the din of his machine. I believe hes asking if Id like him to make quick work of my driveway, I say no that I like the workout. After a second I think that I may have insulted him, inadvertently called him a fat lazy man that cant remember the sense of accomplishment that manual labor brings. I didn’t say that but I think he thought I meant that and I tried to back-peddle and offer a olive branch. I told him that Id like to see that thing go at it and he can do the rest of my driveway.

He finishes and I thank him, that’s when he casts a look as if to say I’m better than you, just look at my machine.

To you my snow blowing neighbor I say Its on!
