I let t go for a while and pick up when I can. In the winter when it's constantly snowing snowing snowing it all gets lost but now as it is thawing and re-freezing, this is the time to get out there and start picking away at the snow with a shovel and cleaning it up. If you wait too long it gets uber gross, probably like you at seeing.
On the flip side I never have time to do it so I'm sure I'm behind...it's all fine and good to stay on top of it when you can be home while the sun is still up but I'm often leaving home at 7am and not home until 7 or 8. But no real excuse there, that's what the weekends are for. Make time for it, just like anything else in life! Gotta take advantages of the windows of time you have instead of watching them pass by. There's a bigger moral to the story at play here
Ps--I say one-up them with your own bombs. Do it!
