hmmm vaguely remember those things from when I lived in the land of ice
and snow (most of my life, actually). Usually can't find the snow shovel
if/when
it snows here on the west coast in comfortable zone 8. No snow at all last
winter.
Cheers, Cheryl Oke

Up here in Northern Ontario we refer to that bar as an ice spud
just like the potato, funny how the same thing has a different name
depending on were your from.
I know were your coming from about retirement, l had my days of
working outside in 20 and 30 and the odd time 35 to 40 below fighting
fires, but now when the winds blow and the snow piles up, we'll worry about
it to-morrow,
Enjoy your retirement, I am
