We're getting your 2nd storm right now...after just finishing the shovelling yesterday afternoon. Getting tiresome. I'd think about a nice little single stage Honda snowblower if the guy on the corner didn't have one. The French people next door have a blower also but he's already working in Montreal while his wife and kids finish our the school year here. Last month she did dig her snow blower out and seemed to enjoy playing with it. If I just stay in bed a while longer one or other of the neighbours usually clear my walkway and sometimes the driveway. haven't had the chance to use my little electric blower the last few years. :-)



I saw a couple of guys this morning trying to use under-powered gas
snowblowers in the wet, heavy snow of last night. Stuff barely made it
out of the snow chute.

I imagine you'd have to go slow and steady in those conditions....not trying to bite off more than the blower can chew and spit out.

That was why they never caught on in Maryland. Snow is usually wet
there. My FIL had one in DC and it seldom actually worked for him.
