I just called to check on my grandparents with the snow (they got 15 in) and they are out shoveling their driveway! My 23 year old cousin lives in the guesthouse at the end of said driveway but my grandparents are shoveling???? Are you kidding me??? My grandpa broke his hip last winter. I'm ready to call someone and raise hell!
Oh boy. You have to call and read that dude the riot act. That's just not acceptable.

So if you live in New England (or Canada) chances are that you will get snow and an occasional blizzard.
If you are THAT upset it snowed move.
When we have an ice storm it worries me more .
There are things going on that are far more concerning to me than a little snow. (we got a foot).

Wilford Brimley and I have mixed feelings about this.
either that or don't build/live near a lake, as you've seen from shots from Erie and around Buffalo
Rest in Peace Officer Brian Sicknick. He is being honored today in DC.
Help me settle a debate please
Large city supplied trash barrels. Wheels and a lid. The hinge is on the same side as the handle, which has a single axle on the bottom to move it around. Big honkin barrels.
When you bring the barrels back in, if you had to place them against the side of a porch/house, do you push them in so the wheels/handle/hinge face out, or do you pull them in so the wheels/handle/hinge are against the house?
I have VERY strong feelings on this but won't provide just yet
Also, I know the "correct" answer is, "Whichever way SHE wants the barrels put back." That's not what I'm looking for here

Handle out, that way you don't have to turn the barrel around before pulling it to the curb.
Disclaimer: I have no dog in this fight as I have a dumpster.
lol amen Bets, I also keep a dumpster back at home. It's emptied the first Friday each month. My father lives on the first floor and I'm on unit 2. He's got a physical hcap and I'm rarely home when the barrels would have to go out, not to mention our town forces 1 set of barrels per unit, aka double the cost. The dumpster is super easy, nobody has to put the trash out, and we save a few bucks.

HA! You definitely put it so the wheels are facing out to make it easier. My wife puts it back however, and it's a pain in the ass.
I definitely don't say anything to her though because it's a battle that's just not worth it to me.
We've had a pretty good winter here in MN...20s, only a couple storms (and we never get as much snow as back east anyways).
But we're gonna have high temperatures below zero starting this weekend. Still not too bad, lows about -15 (God, I've lived here for too long, hahaha) and it only lasts about a week.
Some BIG news! My wife's green card interview FINALLY got scheduled! We have been waiting for this since April of last year. About another month to go. And she's all booked coming home next week...can't wait to see her!
Also! My sister's amazing baking continues to impress. She made Settlers of Catan cookies for a friend's birthday, and they're too good not to share:

Oh I say something, and last night I guess I said it one too many times. Almost found my ass sleeping on the couch lol.

Yeah, I've told my wife the same thing a handful of times, and each time I did, I got the glare. So now I don't say anything and just deal with it, but I'm the asshole for saying something...lol

...why would anyone put it back facing the house? I can't wrap my head around how inefficient that is.
Two schools of though I guess. If you put the handle/wheels in first, it opens easier to toss bags in. If you push it in so the handle is out, it pulls away easily but might be a little more troublesome to open the lid to toss a bag in.
I am 100% in the wheels/handle out camp. Once those suckers fill up, if you dont have a handle to grab and wheels to lean on, it can be a bitch to drag it away. Add some snow and forget it. My back just torqued typing it out.
My town uses the same style barrels. You are 100% right.
In our area trash removal is done by the private contractor of your choice. We used to have barrels but it was definitely cheaper to rent the dumpster than pay for 6 barrels. All I have to do is keep the area around it free from snow so the truck can get in there to empty it. Plus unless there's a really large project going on I don't need to rent one special just for that.
Wheels/hinge towards house but on an angle for easy access. If you have the ability to rig it so you can walk down one step and open at least the recycling barrel to throw something away it is a game changer. Mom even has a bungee cord so you can just lift the top without the risk of getting wet when it is raining or snowing.
I have to use a dumpster so I do not recycle. I don't have the space for 2 barrels in my apartment.
That makes it difficult to pull the barrel away from the house when it's go-time though.
