Well we got maybe 2" total. I pushed it together enough with a shovel so I could actually use a blower to finish it off. Then it came down to which snowblower to get out. It was pretty slushy so I used the one 7 hp, which blew it off just fine. First time this winter I've used one.

My 26 year old 2 stage Toro 521 may get a small workout tomorrow morning It is supposed to be rain first.......then switching over to snow later. My small Toro 2 stage will eat this up where a single stage snow thrower would be over done with heavy wet snow ....... BRING ON THE BIG SNOWS!

Now they are saying 6 to 10 by noon tomorrow. Whatever! Just bring it on I am ready. The 18 horse tractor with the plow is ready to push it to the sides, then the 13 HP Ariens will toss it into the next time zone.

At least that is my plan.

Yup, haven’t had much fun yet this year. A couple of 2 to 3 inch snowfalls is all.

I have always been a plow snow removal kind of guy. I would always have to push the first snows 10 feet into the yard or across the street to make sure I had room for the next and the next snows.

Couple years ago I picked up the Ariens and I really like it. Now I just push the snow to the edge of the drive with the plow then toss it in the middle of the yard or across the street with the Ariens. Works great so far.
