My new snowblower continues to do a great job. Went to bed last night
and there was about 2" on the ground and still coming down. Got up
this morning and looked out at 5:45 AM and saw black asphalt and rain.
I did not even have to open the garage door. That snowblower was a
great investment last year; it is still saving me a lot of work.

I hear ya-- mine didn't work this time, [10"- heavy stuff] but you
know it isn't snowing much when you still enjoy blowing the crap
around with a new shiney toy.

I'll trim up the edges today and make some paths for the dog.

Jim, just how much snow (depth) can a blower blow away ? I never
had one so I have no experience nor where I live now, will I ever need
one g.
I have had experience in 1 meter (39 inches) of snow with an old 5
HP single stage craftsman with drift cutters - it wasn't pretty but
it got the job done. 30 inch drifts with the old Canadiana 5/26 2
stage was a bit easier. The old 4/22 Noma Trackdrive worked very
hard to handle 16 inches.

So far my new and expensive 6-24 Yamaha Hydro has not had to tackle
more than about 8 inches in widely spaced drifts - I should have
bought that new blower LONG ago!!!!!!
