What a pain in the back (and lower).

Surprisingly the roads are pretty clear (at least in the neighborhood).
Bill- Perhaps you need a 'back-pack' that holds a load of salt & has a spreader on the bottom..Make your snow-blower sweeps count. Would help your back as well..

My youngest sister & her family are up in PA. just outside of Pittsburgh..


ballplr-

I really don't share your love of snow. LOL.. I don't mind seeing it on National Weather. But that's about the extent of it..

My middle sister & her family though, are up in Arlington.

I'm the oldest & only male of our family..

After all was said and done by 3PM we only had 8" of powder.
1˝ hours with a new(to me) snowblower for 3 driveways and assorted paths.
The controls layout on the Toro makes me miss the Ariens.
The Toro's a beast but I liked the controls layout better on the Ariens.

Hot supper with 4 Ibuprofen and I'll be good as Gnu.

Sorry...we could get up to one inch tomorrow, but other than that just flurries until and through Christmas....


(And that one inch is on top of the 1/4 inch we already have...)

I have an Ariens 524 for the sidewalks. Outstanding machine.

I also use a 22HP garden tractor with a plow for close to the house and garage.

I also use a Western plow on my S10 for the rest.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) we only got maybe about an inch or 2 up here in NY State.
