How many Italians does it take to plow a driveway?

Within many Italian families, most of the men either work as landscapers or own their own landscaping company.  When planning family get together or parties, Saturdays are always out of the question since most of the men are doing the landscaping rounds on Saturdays.

Even in the winter, it can be crazy. Since winter time is the off season, many landscapers plow for extra cash. While the money pays well, the mental stress that the rest of  us have to endure is not so great. But the perks to having a landscaper (or ten) in the family means you will never be snowed in!

I give the guys a lot of respect. They work hard day in and day out. From working in the 100 degree weather to below freezing to plow, they somehow always keep going.  For instance, today I am sure many of my relatives have already prepped the plows, stocked up on salt, and have the espresso ready to go once Nemo fully hits.
