Do You Need A Snowblower?

[jking]

I could use that this morning. We had 14" of snow yesterday/last night & are expecting a couple more today. Add in 40-50mph winds & it's going to take some time for me to dig out of this even with my 2-stage snowblower.

At least I got the message from my boss to stay home today.

Three hours to clear the driveway this morning with a 72" wide snowblower. That could come in handy around here.

You must have seen a lot more snow on that side of the cities Twistsol.

I can still see the grass for most of my yard. With the exception of a small drift by the wife's car and at the foot of the driveway where the plow did its thing I don't think it was 2" deep anywhere on my property. That's a good thing, as with even moderate (6") snow and all the wind I could have had 4'-5' drifts easily...

We have a little over a foot of snow and my driveway is 1/2 mile long. I really need to get a plow for the truck, the tractor is just too slow.

Maybe a driveway-shortener is in your future...

When we moved here my girls thought it was neat that they could ride the bus to school rather than walking until they figured out the driveway was longer than the old walk to school. Now they just drive.

I've got 18" of snow & a mess of downed branches up to 8"d in the driveway. I need a combination snow-blower/chipper/shredder

Did you notice the use? Almost 12,000 miles, but 1,000 hours.

Sounds reasonable... 12 mph total lifetime average speed.
probably right for a city blower, maybe a little slow for a highway blower.
