Raking, easily. Our place is fenced in on three sides, yet somehow every house near ours has absolutely no leaves and ours gets ALL of them.

 

Snow goes where I put it and stays there, in the off chance I can't just drive through it in the first place.

Back and Front combined I have 13 trees that just dump constantly before they're bare. I have a three bag leaf catching attachment on my lawnmower and after every single pass I have to change it. By this time of the year Ive already closed my pool so I then have the pleasure of draining the cover and removing a few hundred pounds of wet leaves every week. Snow is 100% easier.

I have always considered the 3 most useless human occupations to be;

1.) Shovelling snow (cold sucks!)

2.) Raking leaves (they itch!)

3.) Mowing lawns (totally temporary - a few days, and ya have to do it again!)

I'm the one in the family responsible for raking...

 

We live on a couple acres next to a lake and there's almost exclusively pine trees.

 

Just this year we got an attachment for our lawn mower, but raking stills sucks bad

 

 

 

My dad has a Ford F-350 (used only for plowing our house and the rental properties) with a huge Boss snowplow, so I really don't have anything to do with snow removal...

lmao

 

I live in in the middle of a street. I have this huge willow tree in the front that's taller than my two story house and as wide as my half acre lot.. every fall it blows a crapload of leaves down on me. It even gets into the backyard.. takes me a nice day to rake it all up. Next day, more leaves. Pain in the butt. At least with snow you don't have to worry about it blowing away :P

We had a really harsh winter a couple years ago, 2+ feet of snow fall. a day later it was 6" of snow and 1 1/2 ft of ice. I had to use an axe to shovel my drive way lol.

 

I love snow though, its a good excuse to stay out of school ;)
