Me and most of my neighborhood were all set for the snow with snow
throwers and generators.
Neighbor in back, with drive longer than yours, did it with a snow
thrower and we had just as much snow as you.

Oh I have a whole house Kohler generator but power from the elec. co.
wasn't interrupted -- this time.

But you can't eat propane.

Can't imagine anyone doing a real long drive with a walk behind snow
thrower especially with 2 ft. of snow. He must have a huge machine
and probably had to refill his tank a dozen times.

He did it. Not sure how big his snow thrower is but when I looked out,
his wife was using it and he was shoveling. He's a doctor and probably
had to get to work. His drive is over 700 ft.

My snow thrower is 24 inches and drive is about 90 ft which with walkway
took 45 minutes and tank of gas. Fresh snow was easy to move and I
think I could have done neighbors with my thrower in a few hours.
