We don't get much snow where I am BUT I do have a VERY large garden and with it a VERY large and temperamental lawn mower. The first summer I sat in tears on my lawn with the mower in bits trying to make it work again. I did it eventually but boy did I look a mess: grass streaked all over my face mixed in with the tears. Red puffy eyes due to the tears and suffering from hayfever. Thankfully my H didn't pay a surprise visit that day (as he used to at the time but now doesn't bother) so he didn't get to see me so distressed and looking like I had been dragged through a hedge backwards.
HSS we all care for you but believe us when we say if you at least try to do some of these things for yourself you will feel like you have achieved something and that in itself will make you feel better.
