    Do you have to move the snow everyday? I live in Australia and I don’t see snow. I think my heart would break if I spent two hours moving it to wake up the next day and have to do it all over again.

    OK--snow lesson. You have to shovel after it snows. Why? because if you don't, and the temp drops, it melts a bit and becomes slush, which when it freezes overnite becomes ice and very slippery. It's also almost impossible to get ice off your sidewalk, so better to do it when it's fresh. Many towns have ordinances that order you to shovel your walks, so they won't get dangerous.
    If it stops snowing, you don't have to shovel anymore, unless....it gets very windy and blows the snow back on your walks or roads, usually in drifts.
    Those are the basics. When it snows for days on end you get a good workout. And thus the "snowblower" was born.

    PS: Some sidewalks are not flat, they are on hills and therefore even more dangerous if not cleaned.
