32" fell here yesterday and last night and it's still lightly snowing now.
I'm on my third tank of gas.
My road is still not plowed as of noon.
First 12" pass
That's my daily driver

well time to get more blowers out of the shed once i can as i only have one in the garage now and i need it for my house lol

It was ok kind of clunky to use I think I prefer a regular ccr. It cleaned real nice down to the pavement.
I was more impressed with the hs624 it was blasting through the eod that had to be close to a Ft with ice mixed in. The throwing distance was impressive. I have had hs724s and 924s come through before but I never got to use them before they were gone.
Only thing I dont like about the honda. The controls are pretty low. It almost seems made for a tiny person lol

Soon after Tekkie emerged from her long summer slumber, the pains of hunger gnawed deep within her. Foraging for snow became her top priority...
She didn't have to wait long...

After the first 8" early yesterday morning (I cleared the driveway then) we got another 4" of lake effect snow this morning!
So we now have a solid foot on the ground..
I dont think im going to bother to clear the new 4" with the snowblower though, because the forecast says low 40's (+5C) every day next week, starting Monday. For today, I'll just strategically shovel the areas where people need to walk.

First snow of the season this week, didn't pull out my blower yet decided to just let it be as it will likely be gone in a few days anyway. Have no sidewalks so not an issue there for pedestrains, and seeing my BOOT on my broken leg comes off next week i will be ready to go from then on.
End of last season after the last run i replaced all the oil with synthetic as part of my maintenance routine, shut off the gas valve & bought a new spark plug but didn't install as i couldn't find my gap tool and seeing i was putting the machine to bed for the season i figure i could do that right before the season. I can lube some parts when i replace the spark plug, then run it for 10 minutes just to get things running before the really cold weather sinks in.
Getting excited about the new season and being freed up with my mended leg, so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow........
Cheers to all our contributors.
