For lighter snow I use a shovel that works like a plow, in that you push the snow away (you never lift it off the ground). That doesn't work all that well when its 2 ft deep. But the last time it was this deep was almost 10 years ago.

One day I remember walking to work, same as any other day. I noticed the snow, of course, but it wasn't until I got to work and found the office empty that I realized the roads were closed.
