I can't say that I love it but I really don't mind shovelling my 100 meter long driveway, especially if it's not too windy out. It gives me a reason to get some outdoor excercise in the winter other than the daily dog walk. I have a really good, low friction ergonomic scoop like this one which takes much of the stress of lifting off, you more or less just push and dump. Of course I don't do it manually when we get a really big dump or reall wet snow.
