Our two snow shovels were left in the shed when we sold our NJ home. They were very nice snow shovels. I miss my shed.

Left it on the trash heap as we drove away from Ohio, never looked back.

Gave ours away along with our snow blower and it felt great.

I have a real nice heavy duty plastic snow shovel hanging on my garage wall. It has two purposes. One, it reminds me of the 100+ inches of snow we used to suffer through annually in the North suburbs of Syracuse, NY, and two, it is insurance against climate change - you never know.

2 old, but good ones. Left them in Virginia for the family. Hopefully they won't need them either!

Use mine for my tombstone. “Here lies Mo under 100” of snow, not.” LOL

Strapped mine to the roof of my car. Headed south and was on 441 just outside The Villages when someone said "What's that?" I then knew I was in the right place to spend the rest of my life.

We use ours to shovel leaves every week from our *&$n magnolia tree.

Before we moved we gave our snow shovels, ice chipper and bags of salt to our neighbors.

They told us we were enjoying it way too much! We were thrilled.

Gave 2 snow shovels, an ice scraper (looks like a flattened hoe) and my 1yr old Cub Cadet snow blower to my son when we left. He's needed them this year.

If you take the Mt Dora canal boat ride you will see an old snow shovel, handle in the ground and the words "Rust in Peace" on the blade.

Not in Florida, but have a couple up north that will unfortunately be getting some heavy use today.
