Did you ever lose your snow shovel in the snow?

[RandomGirl42]

Ok, so, like, yesterday it snowed. And I left the snow shovel outside. And the wind blew it over. And now it's buried and I can't find it. I mean, not that I really felt like shoveling anyway 'cuz that means I have to go outside in the snow but it prolly would be good to shovel off the porch a little bit so I can at least open the door so I can go outside and look for the snow shovel.

So, I guess this question also contains irony 'cuz that's just kinda ironic and stuff. Like the Alanis Morissette song, "Isn't it Ironic?". Except she doesn't mention snow shovels. Or snow. Which is what this question is all about really 'cuz I've had quite enough of this long, cold, miserable, horrible winter and I'm going to whine, fuss and complain about it all the way into prolly May when there finally (hopefully) won't be any friggen' snow left on the ground and I can enjoy being outside and won't have to be bothered at all by asking ironic questions like, Did you ever lose you snow shovel in the snow?

Well, I did find it but now I'm trying to lose it again but TY for all the awesome replies. ⛄

Yes! Where I live now, we get a ton of lake effect snow and it's like Styrofoam! I didn't know that at first, so, when I went to dig my car out, I gave my shovel a good shove and it flew out of my hand and literally disappeared lol I was going crazy looking for it, thinking it was on the other side of my car. After about 15 minutes, I found it about 8 feet directly behind my car! Don't know how it ended up there.

[exitseven]

yes I lived in upstate new york and the snow was always light and powdery. You could easily wade through 3 feet of snow. It was pretty tough to that around here.

@RandomGirl42 Thank you for MHO! As you see, I also "liked" your question! Like my dad would say, "I got two birds stoned at once". I'm going to try to continue the "liked" and "Thank you".

[RandomGirl42]

Lol! I like that! And I've never seen stoned birds but I've seen drunk birds 'cuz sometimes in fall they'll eat fermented choke cherries and then flop around. 🤣

[douride2]

I would take it you got a huge dump of snow over the last day or so? Now getting back to you question. I can remember hiding the shovel when I was a kid so as I didn't have to shovel the snow. Never lost it though.

[RandomGirl42]

We got about 8 inches and good idea about hiding it. 😊

[douride2]

Thanks for a MHO. Yes we got another couple of inches of snow again here.

[RandomGirl42]

And more in the forecast tonite. I might be able to come out of hibernation by July at this rate. 😳

[AI Opinion]

I totally get this energy 😂 I once left a shovel leaning against the fence at my parents’ place, then we got an overnight blizzard and it just… vanished. We spent half an hour stabbing the snow with a broom handle to find it.

Yours is peak Alanis-level irony. May your shovel reappear with the spring thaw 🌨️🧹💀

[ohsheeT]

Well the real fun part is is when you dig a little Trench pile the snow up on the edge of it drop your snow shovel in it and then kick the snow that you piles up over on top of it has anybody seen my snow shovel no can't say I have you just had it in your hand what you do with it

I don't know

[aaron13547]

You just found the paradox that created life. How can you shovel snow when the shovel is lost in the snow? Lol god asked that same question and I think it created everything. The shovel already exists god just gave you an excuse today to hide inside and pray the sun melts your snow instead. Ill be praying for you!

[Twodogs0525]

No, I can't say I have. I have an uncle that pulled on to the shoulder of the road drunk once. It was years ago during a blizzard and he realized he couldn't make it home. His car was lost in the snow and a plow ended up hitting him and throwing him into a farmers field. Luckily no one was hurt, except for a bottle of Jack and his bank account.

[Twalli]

No, but this reminded me of the time I was packing to go home for winter break from college during a really heavy snow. I left my soda outside in the snow to keep it cold, because it was slightly warm being inside all day, and when I got back in under 20 minutes the snow had fallen so much, the soda was completely covered, this was a 20 oz, bottle, so it wasn't a can.

[msc545]

Well, I can tell you that I've never done that because I've never shoveled snow, so I've never even had a snow shovel. However, if there ever is an occasion when I have to shovel snow, I am absolutely convinced I will lose my snow shovel in the snow.

@RandomGirl42 If I lived in snow country I would own more than one snow shovel. I am sure I have 3 or 4

[exitseven]

@RandomGirl42 You should have duct taped your cell phone to the snow shovel. Then you could call it and hear where it is.

[RandomGirl42]

Lol! That's a good idea. Except I'm not sure where my phone is either this morning. I might have left it on the porch again. 🤣

[exitseven]

call the number from another phone. Maybe get one of those airtags they make for luggage. I went out to my shed yesterday and I counted 3 snow shovels hanging in there.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Nope. It’s very big and difficult to lose it, but I loved cleaning my front yard with the shovel this past February as I spent 3 weeks back in my snowy country…

[AngryCarl3]

UK here.

No, but I left one out and had it stolen. People round here will take anything that's not tied down. Having said that, anywhere you don't get a brick through your window is a nice neghbourhood.

[FreyaRed]

No. I have snow shovel but I don't touch it. By the way winter is over I have appointment to change of winter to summer tires tomorrow.

[7Phoenix7]

Omg I love that song by Alanis Morrisette lol…

I've never experienced snow like that… the sun is burning my legs right now 😁

[Tarifa]

No, but I did lose the car keys once in a snow covered large garden. I think it took me 20 minutes to find them.

[queenofcardio]

I've broken shovels but I haven't lost any in the snow.

[slatyb]

It was snowing so hard I had to keep digging myself out.

[loveslongnails]

I've lost it forever by moving somewhere it doesn't snow!!

[Paige2006]

I have never had a snow shovel or used a snow shovel!

[Bklynbadboy12]

Just got to the area you left it and feel for it with your feet

[NathanDavis]

how I wish I had such issues...

[Agape93]

Nope. I use it and put it in my shed

[Xawyx-2]

Nope, never have.

[AgentG111]

Yup! And I also got in deep trouble for it

[Desserter4]

I guess step snow shovel will have to help her out
