Sounds like my driveway. Main drive is about 100ft long and 20 feet wide, plus a circle drive. Thankfully I didn't have any 3' drifts through. You need either a plow or a massive snowblower. I've got a 10hp snowblower with a 32" blade. Works pretty good, but still takes an hour or so to clear this much snow.

My 95 Jeep can get through 8-10 inches of snow, pretty useful right now.

there where absoultly no hurricanes this yr(06)... pluss tampa has never realy experanced a dead hit...most ive seen is 75mph gusts. that was like 1.5-2 yrs ago. and as long as your .5 mile off coast ur allright...its the storm surge that will kill ya not the wind.

there is not a cloud in the sky injoy ur ice box i think i might go to the beach. and drive my 500hp f-body over to the trac tonight. without 6ft snow drifts and blac ice blocking my way.

It could be worse. You could be 8 months pregnant and having to shovel snow.

i feel your pain. took me a hour and a half to shovel walkway and around the ol ladies car. now gotta figure how to clear the other 99 feet of driveway lol. pulled my back out so it definitely wont be with a shovel in my hand. the bad thing about it, i have a damn 7'6" western plow sittin behind garage and no truck to put it on. if anyone is looking to buy this plow pm me very little use, came off a 96 f-250 comes with plow,,wiring harness,, and controls paid $4300+ new. first $2000 o.b.o. can come get in northwest Indiana. pm if interested
