The helpless maiden went to the hardware store.
"I've never had to deal with snow before," he said. "Help me."
Three burly men clamored for his attention.
"I can't carry that big bag of rock salt on my bike," he said.
All three men offered to drive the maiden.

Me too! I'm also a helpless maiden dealing with snow for the first time. My sister, who does not condone this helpless BS and is Experienced, gave me her spare snow shovel.
When I was using the shovel for the 1st time

(under cover of darkness, for privacy, but it didn't help), 2 fit passers-by offered to help, but I could not bring myself to accept their kindness. I shoveled my sidewalk & 1/4 of my driveway then went inside and took ibuprofen. The next morning it rained & the snow washed away.

I haven't had to shovel yet because I don't have a driveway, or a car for that matter. But I need the salt for the stairs and walkway up to the house.

So far I find everything about living in snow embarrassing. I ordered salt but it doesn't arrive till this weekend. So I've crept out at night to sprinkle kosher salt on my porch.

I do have a car and I had to buy snow tires which I call my super tires, but in April I have to have them taken off and store them till October. I'm going to be a person who stores tires. I hardly recognize myself.
