Hi,
I'm contemplating buying a snowblower for my Dad, and have some basic questions. I've read many of your posts, and am a little lost right now with all the discussions!...lol
He lives in Alberta, Canada - where they get only a foot and a half of snow per year. But since he has a gigantic driveway, sidewalk and patio, he has a lot of ground to cover, and since all his neighbors are aging, I think a snowblower could help him. However, although there is not much snow, it gets very cold (25 below - Fahrenheit) and he doesn't have a garage. Will the snowblower still start if it's stored in an unheated garden shed? And, given that there's not much snow, but cold, does he need to get the heavy-duty ones (2 stage?) that I have seen mentioned? Or will it be enough to get a "lighter" one? Is a snowblower practical in terms of maintenance and starting?
I would really appreciate any advice anyone has to offer. I hope these questions weren't too laughable for this forum!
Thank you.
