Now that I am in the south (I am originally from Michigan) I don't have to deal with snow anymore. But this sounds like fun (the math, not the shoveling) and to find out that you have shoveled 14 tons of snow, what a feat. It felt like I did that every time we got over 4 inches and that happened a lot. Congrats on shoveling that much and it sounds like a good project for high school children. Hey, they can shovel the snow for their parents. Thanks for giving me ideas and inspiring me. I really like your blog. Keep the good posts coming!<br />Ramsey Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17932071080982956989noreply@blogger.com
