Doc Shapiro Posted January 31 Posted January 31 A pretty good storm is coming in. Something like 4 feet of snow predicted over the next week. I broke down and bought an Arians. Looking forward to playing with the new toy tomorrow afternoon! And skiing this weekend will be epic! 2 1 Quote

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Been seeing adds lately for the latest really powerful "Electric" snow blowers. As if you can believe those ads. I actually have a really nice Snow Blower in the garage. It has sat for so long, I don't know it it will actually still run. I do know positively, "I" don't want to go out and run it. Yuck!! 1 Quote

I put my snow shovel on top of my car when I left Colorado and headed south until someone stopped me and asked what that thing was. I then knew I could stop and never have to see it again.

Eyesa Horg Posted January 31 Posted January 31 If you're not clearing a gravel/ stone area you should generally be ok. Still good to have couple/ few in hand. Stones get mine every now and then. Quote
bgavin Posted January 31 Posted January 31 (edited) Hey Doc, I see you moved up to McCall. Other than the ferocious amount of snow, McCall has some of the cleanest air in the lower 48. We used to summer on the lake when I was a kid.. a long time ago. They hated Californians back then, no doubt hate 'em today. Change your license plate ASAP. Edited January 31 by bgavin Quote
Cypress Sun Posted January 31 Posted January 31 I bought a snow blower once...or was that a snow globe? All I know is that it sat on a shelf for a long time. Quote

Had a conversation about that even with MT plates. 1 Quote

We've met a bunch of CA transplants here, including folks from Auburn, and Roseville. Everyone has been really welcoming. 1 Quote
bgavin Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Small town vibe in the winters, many tourists in the summer. Not as bad as Tahoe, for sure. I skiied a whole lot at Brundage when growing up in ID. 2 Quote

I skiied a whole lot at Brundage when growing up in ID. I'm heading to Brundage in the morning, after I clear the driveway. We've already gotten about 4 inches, and I just had to give the blower a try. That thing rocks! 1 Quote
Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Pacman, my faithful show eater breathed his last buzzing breath last year. 😪Debated getting another but with the Kubota and atv plow I don’t really have much need for one. Only a bit of shoveling around the porch is necessary. I found videos on line about how to modify it to avoid picking up rocks and busting shear pins.. It worked great! 2 Quote

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted February 1 Posted February 1 I don't think I've ever even seen a snow blower for sale. We get a little snow every once in a while but it's usually gone by lunch time. Quote
