Re: STORMWATCH 2015-16!!!!!!
I've never owned a snowblower, and I don't think I ever will. I'm just to f'n cheap to buy one. One year ago and one day, we had 22" and I just kept going out every hour or two. Overnight was the [expletive]. Once I get to the point where I just physically can't do it, I'll pay somebody.

You can get a little 4-cycle single stage snowblower for around $350. We have a 3-car garage so a very wide driveway. It's still a lot of work but just I don't have 3 hours to spend shoveling.

My friends in NE said snow today was so wet and heavy the snowblower was useless. That sounds miserable to me.

I hear this from snowblow owners all the time. To heavy to use the blower. To light to use the blower. To <fill in the blank>. They just sound like an expensive pain in the ass to me.MrCrowesGarden wrote:My friends in NE said snow today was so wet and heavy the snowblower was useless. That sounds miserable to me.

You can also mow your lawn with one of these.

I also have to confess rad - I don't cut the grass. Or I should say I rarely cut it. My wife likes to cut grass, or she gets sick of looking at it before I do. I really would use a manual if it were up to me, but since my wife does most of the cutting I think the least I can do is treat her to the best.

We got about 12" at my house yesterday and overnight. 9-10" officially at the airport. After school activities were cut short yesterday but schools were on time again this morning.
Since we now live about 2 blocks from some great XC ski trails, I'm glad to have snow again after a big melt off last weekend.
