My old, now defunct, pressure washer had an adjustable nozzle thingy.
The water shot out of a small orifice and would drill a hole in just
about anything you pointed it at. *However, there were 2 parallel metal
diverter that, when adjusted would move closer together and make the
spray more a fan pattern. *There was a sweet spot that when you just
brought in the metal plates and held the gun straight out, that would

It's been much too warm here in the Chicago area to make snow. The
local ski molehills are all shut down, we have had maybe 1/2 inch of
flurries total this year. My neighbor has a hockey rink setup in his
back yard, all it has done so far is kill the grass underneath as it
tries to grow thru the plastic of the bottom of the rink. Forecast
for the next week is 40's daytimes, hi 20's at night for a couple
nights, in the 30's for the nightime lows the renmaining nights. The
sports stores are going bonkers, nothing for winter sports that they
normally sell is selling.
