I don’t believe in those curses. We both bought a trailer this year and a funnel cloud failed to put either of them into low-earth orbit. A new snowblower would be a legit reason to look forward to snow, though. Using them is downright therapeutic for the mind.The ones I used at the schools last year were incredible John Deere models with off-road tires and built-in hand warmers over the handles. So sweet.
I had a brand new one at the apartment complex that I was dying to use. It never snowed. Snowblowers are a rare thing this far south. We haven't had a decent snow since 2018, I think. That one was a doozie that year, and probably the whole reason we had a brand new snow blower.
Yeah, I heard they're forecasting a dump of snow, so upgraded the old, shitty-but-works, 12 year old snowblower for a new thing... with hydraulics, and electric start. Spoiler: it doesn't suck
I needed something to clear the way to my new truck, that just might have a new plow on it sometime soon... because why the hell not? Spoiler
Is there a NASCAR for snow plows I'm unaware of? Is there a Marlboro-sponsored plow making a move on the last turn?
I hope to never ever ever ever ever ever live in a place where that machine would need to be used. #nooffense
Dude... you have no idea how serene it is. THE BEST days are when it's an adult snow day, so nobody works... the city plows are all elsewhere, and like a mobilized militia, garage doors around the neighbourhood open up... and the scream of a hundred snow blowers fill the air. You then see tons of fat, middle aged men running their snow-blowing contraptions with the biggest, snow-encrusted smiles on their faces... cleaning up streets that the city never got to... uncovering the elderly neighbour's driveway so she can still not go anywhere that day, but safe in the knowledge that she could get into her car if she wanted to. Never mind the glorious people who leave a 6-pack or bottle of booze at the end of their driveway as payment for doing their driveway. All to then go back inside, have a Bailey's and coffee, and then work from home, knowing your day's quota of Do Good was done well.
Snowblower? The fuck. I thought all you Canadians said snow thrower, and corrected the uninformed who dared say snowblower. Like the way Alaskans correct everyone that says snowmobile. IT'S SNOW MACHINE, YOU MORON.
A snow thrower looks like a lawnmower, it sucks and doesn’t do shit unless the snow is less than three inches deep and not heavy. Even shovelling is better than those stupid things.
