Snow can now blow Part 2

New SnowblowerYup...  that will work.

Direct from Canada, one of the few places on the planet that knows snow better than Upstate NY,  an M K Martin Meteor snow blower.

A whopping 75 inches of snow clearing fury...  when attached and cranked up it sounds like a small jet engine...  chute rotates - top angles...  it's all good. (maybe next year I'll spring for a rear remote and make the chute rotation fully automatic - no crank)

What used to be a bit of a choreographed dance up and down, up and down, up and down the driveway can now sorta melt down into 2 passes and a trip around to loop (sorta).

I have a feeling that when there is more than 6" of snow I won't have to go "extra slow".  I'm guessing getting stuck in drifts is not overly likely.  I imagine that I'll be hard pressed to clog it up with too much snow.

Yeah - this will definitely make the upkeep of the driveway a far less time consuming task this winter...  ohh yeah.
