Next summer when it's 100° and I'm bitching about the heat, remind how much I hate this bullshit.

Damn, I thought I was the only pissed off person today.

Btw, I just finished shoveling snow and now my back is killing me. Yes, I was SHOVELING. We own a damn corner lot, yet we don't own a snowblower.

WTF sense does that make? None.

How much snow did you get?

It sounds like you need a tractor.

Around 6-8" here. It's hard to really tell when it's drifted all to hell, and the first couple inches were basically slush that instantly froze once the snow above it was removed. 'Twas a nasty one this time.

Yeah, we had massive wind here too. I bet it was blowing 60. We only got an inch, and the slushy stuff I was excited about because it stuck in the fields and didn't blow away.

A tractor would be nice.

We got 5-6 inches, maybe? The problem is it rained before it snowed yesterday. Then, of course, the sun was out earlier today and I couldn't get to shovel until the sun was down. There was a lovely sheet of ice on top of the snow.

So, there I was... busting the shit out of the ice and snow. All of this after dealing w/ the ignorant slutmonger client. Oh, and I wanted to fill up the tank in the Jeep, (ya know, prepare it for ramming zombies, and such), and the damn pumps were slow as all hell. I stood there for 5 minutes and only got $8 worth of gas.

This has not been a pleasant day.

Buy a snowblower?

Wanna trade? We've got way more than that, and that doesn't even count the diesel motors, which we have way more of.

Grandpa had a Deere unit from the late 70s/early 80s. It was a snow eating beast and ran like a champ. And grandpa never screwed with fuel even though we rarely used it. It was sold in the estate auction in 2008, and dad missed it. He was pissed.

Anyway, if you get one that isn't a cheap POS, I think it will stay as long as you want.

I don't own one either. I have too damn many other machines to store and maintain, I don't want another one around that I only really need 2-3 times a year.

WTF else do you have to take care of? Mower, Weedeater.....Hedge Trimmers?

Last year my buddy bought one. I stacked the shit on him because it NEVER snows much here. If it does it is light and shitty and won't work well for a snowblower.

Then it promptly snowed 18 inches of heavy ass snow. I'd have been ass****ed without it. It probably paid for itself between my driveway, his driveway, my grandma's, and his grandmas. If we wouldn't have had it, I would have had to go get the tractor and a loader and it would have been horrible.

It's worth it. Even if you just used it once.
