Huge mowing of Otak and the Worm. The Worm would kick ass on snow shoveling but grass is alien to Iceland. New Jersey is completely paved so Otak is foreign to the subject too. I ,of course living in the plush and lush midwest dominated.

Mabye ice-picking and slush-driving. I’m afraid there just isn’t that much snow over here ☹
But you with your grand garden sure did all right. Now just make sure none of those pesky kids get onto your lawn 🙂
