When I was a kid my remember helping my dad shovel out the drive. That was always fun, though, I don't think that I was much help at the ripe old age of 5.

Success. When I got up this morning, the temp was 31F, and the 12 inches snow was beginning to liquefy and compact. Temp was going to rise to low 40s, so I needed to clear the driveway before the snow turned to slush and refroze.
So as the sun was coming up (around 6:30, I cleared the whole driveway and apron. Snow blower worked fine - slow, after 2.5 hours I had the whole area cleared. Yahoo!
Temps are now in the 20s, dropping to teens tonight, and remaining in the 20s for the next five days. If I hadn't cleared that mess this morning, it would have turned slushy, then frozen solid. Not fun!
Pulled off the wet clothes, had a St Nicholas, lay down at 10, and slept like a rock until almost noon.

One nice(?) thing here in UT is that the snow tends to be much lighter thanks to our extremely low humidity. I grew up in RI so I know the heavy and wet snow from other areas. We don't usually get the heart attack snow here.
I do remember my dad (and later me when I was older) just out there with a shovel when it snowed. No machinery for us. If we had the cars out of the way the folks who plowed the church would do our driveway with the plow as well (my dad was the rector there).
Somewhere there is a great picture of me during the blizzard of '78 "helping" plow the driveway with my Tonka snowplow.
