Using the Yooper Scooper in Oklahoma!

So what is a Yooper Scooper?

Oklahoma recently got some snowfall during a winter storm event on February 3rd and 4th, 2022.

Coworkers and I cleared snow at work both days, getting 6-8 inches the first day and a couple more inches overnight.

But the story here in this short video highlights my Yooper heritage. I was born and raised in Michigan's upper peninsula, specifically the Keweenaw peninsula. Practically whelping in a snowbank, lol!

It wasn't unusual to get a few hundred inches of snow between late October and into April. We grew up with the stuff, some years, like the blizzard of 1978, snow drifted up to the eaves of our homes.

A Yooper invention, the "Yooper Scooper, was a snow removal tool most Yoopers owned. I brought mine to Oklahoma. I've had opportunity to use it a few times over my 32 plus years of living in Oklahoma. Not often; but glad to have it when a quick driveway clearing was in order.
