18 of one, half a dozen of another

Our overnight snowstorm didn't leave us with as much snow as the forecast claimed, 6 inches at least, maybe a bit more but this was snow with a high moisture content, dense and almost soggy on the bottom. The snowthrower struggles to send snow 5 to 10 ft so I end up throwing snow that's already been thrown, heavier now. In the mere two and half hours it took to clean up the estate I mulled over what might be a fair exchange for conditions I'd prefer. I concluded I'd rather have 18 inches of "dry" snow and a 15 mph wind then what I was working with this morning with no wind. Equal effort in half the time? Maybe. The Noble Prize in Physics... questionable at this point.
