If no one else is doing it for you, then you want shoveling made easy (Pretty? Maybe not so important).
We found a few shovels worth looking into for the winter, so you're not caught in a drift with nothing to use but a broom.
Let us know if any of these have worked wonders for you, or if you have the perfect choice to recommend.
Left, the Voile TelePro Shovel, $40, (also comes in red, yellow and blue, and in various sizes...). Some not-so-pretty choices below:
Goodlooking shovel, but you'll break your back. A curved ergonomic handle is a much better choice.

i've done a good amount of shoveling in my time, i've used the little telescoping fold up one, the electric snow shovel kind and many more.
the telescoping ones would be good for an emergency only like keep it in the back of your car. the comment above for an ergonomic one is key if you do a lot of shoveling. The electric one is ok if you have about 3 inches of snow or less, otherwise it can't cut it, i end up lifting mine up (yeah it's heavy as heck) and having to skim the snow down in layers.
If you have a big area to do, have room to store it, the ones that look like a big plow, they're usually steel and about 3 or 4 feet wide, and you just push them work great. but they're huge.
that thing with the big wheel looks ridiculous i would not believe their claims til i saw it actually work. it seems like the tiny little wheel isn't going to go anywhere on ice, and i don't get how the snow gets dumped.

I would be embarassed to have my neighbours see me push that thing with the wheel. That is all.
