That's the number of outdoor "utensils" we have for snow. There is of course the snow blower, but because I took this picture in the back yard (on the ice rink to be exact) getting the snowblower back there was more work than I wanted to take on. Tim actually had a shovel on his Christmas list, and this after we already had 5 + a snowblower. There are so many types of shovels I really think they each need there own name. That would make it so much easier. Our list of snow "utensils" includes; a silo shovel, a bent handled shovel, a blue shovel, a metal yellow plow shovel, an ice chipper, and a rubber scrapper (for the rink, I think). We seem to add to the collection yearly. So my question to you is how many snow "utensils" do you have? I'm curious to see what the average number might be.

We have 6. One big UPer scooper to push large amounts of snow off the driveway, two normal sized shovels, two old metal shovels - that usually stay in the back of our cars, and one ice chipper. We use them all, especially when the whole family is out cleaning off the snow after a storm. So far no snowblower - maybe when I am older - Patz
love the pictures and blog Trace.
Let's see..3 regular snow shovels (kept handy near barn, garage, and house), my favorite Wovel (shovel on a lever on a wheel), a big snow scoop, the ice scraper/chipper, and the snow remover of last resort: snowblower. I also use a flat garden shovel to dig out around the barn door and the mail box. That makes 8. We do have a LOT of snow removal to manage.
