Winter finally arrives
 

Things were going too well.
If the snow wasn't so deep I'd drive down the coast checking on a
predicted storm surge.

big whoop - a foot of snow.

boo freakin' hoo.

Meanwhile her in Mich, with Detroit billing itself as a winter wonderland
for the SuperBowl, the temps are in the 40's, no snow, they are going to
have to put wheels on the dog sleds for the races, etc etc.......but then
there is a slight possibility of a major storm hitting Sat-Sun......that
would be interesting.

I'd like to see you out shovelling with one arm.
Besides..it was higher in the drifts. I actually had to lift my Toro
snowblower up and take off the top 6- 8 inches of snow so I could move
forward on the remainder.

I hope it was not a wet snow making removal all the more difficult.

Getting rid of a foot of wet snow, even with a single stage snowblower is
not easy.

Nothing is easy when you're wet, and freezing the family jewels off!

We just had the 3rd warmest January on record. :-) I hope February
remains the same.

Big time wet.
Couldn't see out of my new windows until I went out and brushed the wet
sticky snow from them.
I left my driveway partially blocked because I know the plows will make
another pass tonight to widen the street. I'm not giving them a place
to push the snow into.

thats why god invented kids and snow blowers.


Right. When I was a kid, (14-16 yo) a major snowstorm was good for 20
bucks.
That was 10 driveways at 2 bucks a pop.

Right now, I can't find any kids willing to shovel any snow, period.

An old clapped out SUV with snow chains and plow will get you started,
very popular in some parts on the NE, most not even registered.

Not that I ever expect to need a snow blower again...

tecumseh has a the same problem ficht had - they made some bum engines
at one time under a mass produce license with mtd - all small 3 hp
engines used on push mowers - which damn near killed the company.
however, they made a good engine - i have one of my ariens snow
blowers has a 12 hp tecumseh and its a strong engine - never a hiccup.

if i had my preference though, id go with b&s industrial series
engines like on the 15 hp, 36 inch blower i have. that engine is
indestructible.

You are absolutely correct. The larger Tecumseh engines are fabulous,
have steel cylinder sleeves, etc.

No..it's not a 'snow broom'... that's the smaller size!
You're as bad as my brother-in-law. He bought a Kubota B21 to clear his
driveway and play around with during the summer.

i hope to hell they have the auger and blower shear pinned. hit some
ice and that thing would come apart with all kinds of interesting
shrapnel.

did you notice how much snow was being thrown out of the bin from the
main auger? too much power.

i liked the gas powered blender though. :)

Snow is what we get in the truck and drive a couple hours to ski on. Then
get in the truck and return home. Where cold is 50 degrees.
