When our street got plowed the other day I was surprised that There was a snow levy along the curb under my mailbox, but there wasn't a levy of snow at the end of our driveway. Finally! The snow gates came to my neighborhood!

This has led to a small problem. I still haven't gone out to clear the rest of the driveway.

I would normally be forced to go shovel the end of my driveway out so that we could get vehicles out. But that was never a problem since the snow gate was used. So I haven't had a strong motive to bundle up and shovel.

My wife shoveled Saturday evening while it was still snowing and I was visiting my parents with the kids, so it was already partially done. But since the snow gates prevented the dam from forming that even my 4-wheel drive truck would struggle to get through at times, I just don't feel motivated enough to do it. Until my wife tells me to.
