What the %^%$%^!
 

Good Lord...it's still a month away before winter begins.
Started snowing around 2300 last night and I awoke this morning to 30cm on
the ground.
What a struggle with the Mickey Mouse electric snow thrower. It's ok from
4" to about 8"...but after that it really bogs down, especially if we have
heavy wet snow.
I'm sitting here watching my next door neighbour shovelling his driveway and
the snow plow coming around filling it back in..hee hee......

So SW Tom .. if that's you sending crap up here again..lay off! ;-)

What the %^%$%^!

My friend Harold Foskett built one using a old 42 inch Ariens two
stage thrower and a Ford V6 from a junk Taurus he picked up as a
wreck.

The major problem? It would throw snow like crazy, but at such a rate
that the chute would clog - the snow actually melted at the second
stage and turned into ice eventually. He could only run it at idle -
hardly worth it.

Oh oh...looks like we're trapped...
Only road out is closed and air flights cancelled. If a major emergency
happened I'h have to motor out on the Yukon.

I bet that would be fun.
Those pics are pretty depressing.
I hope my wife gets stuck in the snow every day on her commute this
winter. That'll convince her to move to Florida.

Met a guy in New York years ago. He was back visiting his children. Said
when he retired, he went south until the snow ended and stuck his snow
shovel the in the ground and went a 1000 miles further. ;)
