Reply to comment by HotDamn18V in How can you live in PA and hate this?! It’s absolutely stunning! by Jacey0527

Who mows TWICE A WEEK? I mow like once every 2-3 weeks.

Either way, id still say that shoveling is worse than mowing the lawn especially during a massive showstorms. Mowing the lawn is about on par with 3 inches of snow IMO. Anything beyond that is like....no. And given we can get up to 2-3 feet some storms...ugh.

Where I live in SWPA, it rains constantly and the grass grows so fast that I have to or it'd be too long for my push mower to handle it. Plus it's hilly here, so I have to use the push mower, as a riding mower would roll over and kill me. I hate it more than any other chore ever.

Push mower. Get something gas/battery powered. There's a huge middle ground between push mowers and riding ones.

It's gas powered, but I have to push it. Self propelled are too heavy and slip on the steep hills. Electric wouldn't last for the job and are similarly heavy, plus I don't have the money to throw at it. So I got the lightest gas mower for the job, and it sucks, but it's what does the job.

Well I don't have a big enough yard to justify a driving one.

Meanwhile digging your car out from a 2 foot solid wall of ice while dodging traffic is....less than fun.
