the idea:  shovel snow onto a tarp and then drag it

Some of the best ideas have been born from attempts to avoid boring chores.  This may not have been the best idea, but it did make shoveling snow with my neighbors a lot more fun!

Once you get far enough from the pile of snow you’re shoveling to the work gets much harder.  Not only do you have to shovel, you have to walk every shovelful over to the pile.  After moving my Snow Nemo by pushing him onto a tarp, I thought the same thing would work with piles of snow.

Not only did it work, it was much more fun.
