Not to mention you should NEVER snow-blow a gravel surface unless you
like paying off damage claims - Car paint jobs wrecked and window
glass blown out, broken windows on nearby buildings... Get the areas
you want to snow blow paved before you start flinging it around.

I've been snowblowing over gravel for thirty years. No big deal. Set
the shoes up, leave an inch. Point spout to open area - go.

What you should never do is blow an area where you haven't inspected
it to be clear. My highlights - a cement block in a neighbor's
driveway. A steel fence post in another neighbor's driveway. A slio
stave in front of my spray water tank - my fault - and that sucker
wedged in tight. But my favorite - still got shivers thing about it -
was a can full of gasoline.

Nothing, it didn't go off. This was just last Feb. Milady put the
lawmower can in front of the barrels in late fall, "so it would be
handy". The snow was three feet deep so I blew right up to the 2000
gallons of fuel so I could refill tractors. Then I seen a plume of
gasoline and fumes and bits of gas can fly over the fuel barrels.
