Shovel off to Buffalo

We entered this winter with two snow shovels, both having seen better days; as of tonight, we have one snow shovel remaining.
I was using the red metal shovel because the snow and ice had mixed in oh, such a lovely way today, and was heavy, wet snow in certain ways. But just a few shovels into the fun, after I got home and took Walker Evans around the neighborhood, the shovel broke in the middle, leaving me with a green plastic shovel.
It was hoped that the two shovels together would get us through this winter, but the metal shovel was the better of the two, because the plastic one already has some crack issues and the shovel portion prefers to skim over snow than dig into or under it, too often requiring me to go over parts of the driveway and sidewalk two or three times and still not get it all. The plastic shovel is good for light, fluffy snow up to about three or four inches, and doesn't skim over that, but medium or heavy snow presents problems.
With the television stations I've seen so far predicting a virtual "Apocalypse Now" snowy weekend, I will have to go to Home Depot or True Value Hardware very soon to get a new shovel. Oh, joy.
