I was right.

We have had a snow blower for about 3 years. In that time my wife has never used it once. She actually does the majority of the snow removal around our house and says she enjoys shoveling. The storm that has battered our area for the last two weeks has seemed to have changed her opinion of shoveling. She finally broke down and used the snow blower this week and said that it was actually much easier than she thought it would be. I have told her time and time again that it makes life easier but she wouldn't hear it. She insisted that in the time it took to get it started she could have the driveway shoveled. All it took was 2 feet of snow to change her tune.
