How much snow did you get Pete? Just cleard 4" off 150 feet of driveway, front sidewalk and parking pad - not too shabby for an old fart.

I'd guess about the same, quite cold too. I was driving for a couple hours, parked and ran into a store, less than 10 minutes later there was ice on the windshield.

Careful with the shoveling Rob! I'm an apartment dweller now.

Not bad at all.

Myself, I just move the little stick to the "4WD" position. Works slicker than snot on a doorknob.

No shovel I just walk behind the snow blower, the hardest part is turning it around.

No, the hardest part is getting the garage door open so you can get it into action.

And there are other hard parts. Don't kid yourself, a snowblower saves maybe 50% of the effort at best.

Electric garage door opener, just enough room to get the blower around the Impala and it has electric start, one rotator cuff experience was quite enough thank you. Hey I am just happy that at 83 I am able enough, gotta get exercise somewhere and writing novels does not cut it.
