Raking leaves or shoveling snow?

[southmine]

Where I live you have to shovel the snow just to get at the leaves

Seriously though, raking leaves takes maybe a weekend. Shovelling snow goes on for 5 mos. up here.

I'll take the leaves.

I chose raking because when you get done shoveling you can hit the slopes on some fresh powder. raking sucks. and snowblowers are fun....especially when it is a rider.

I picked raking leaves, because we have a snowblower and rock salt for the snow. We have a tractor for the leaves but if you can't get the damn thing out of the backyard because it's too wet, you're SOL.

I can't vote for either... Living in Florida tends to rule out any show shovelling. We did get a few flurries last week in Orlando... Weird thing, it was way above freezing. Something about the upper atmosphere being REAL cold...

 

So without the experience of snow shovelling I am unable to give a good opinion. I hate raking leaves, but I bet moving snow in any fashion sux...

Raking leaves hands down. You get all leaf-y and break a nasty sweat. With shoveling snow, it's cool outside so just drop your coat on your curb and get t' shovelin'. No sweat broken.

I voted for raking, it's a waste of time.

W don't get that much snow that is need to shovel snow.

Shoveling snow. Grew up on the prairies most of my life, before moving to the W coast. I'll take the odd snow we get out here that disappears quickly compared to the 6 months of snowstorms and shovelling. Almost every xmas since I move out W in 88 has been a green one. I'll take green over white anyday.

And let's not forget what else, snow melts.

I hate raking!

[Guest r3d c0m3t]

I say raking leaves sucks more, whenever I go out to shovel the snow I end up playing in it and someone else ends up doing it.

 

It's the perfect front, trust me...all you have to do is show how much of a kid you still are...regardless of age.

 

Of course it's a front unless you actually enjoy it, like myself.

Neither. I dont own a snowshovel, and all I get at my house are pine needles.

 

The Pacific Northwest rocks.

 

We had snow last week, I stayed at home.

I'll roll with the majority. Fair sized open driveway, big old horsechestnut (conker) tree, and zero snow whatever time of year, equals a tiresome autumn... doesn't really make a fair vote I guess. Unless you like conkers.

When the leaves first fall you get the sticky buds that get everywhere too. Ahem.

Mowing is worse.
