Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Hi all,

      I just want to take a minute of your time to say I am VERY sorry! I feel so bad about this... And you guys have been really great helping me choose equipment and even making me laugh from time to time. I know I don't post here as much as some but I do come in and read quiet often. I know how much you all want to use your snow blowers this winter and it is this that I am sorry about...

You see, last fall I purchased a shinny new Ariens snow blower. It has a nice powerful engine and nice grippy tires. It says it will shoot snow 45 feet!!! My neighbors came out and oogled at the powerfull looking machine. They then shook my hand and said THANKS! This puzzeled me and I said for what? Their reply was "Now that you purchased this machine, it will never snow!"

I think they were right...and for this I say...I am sorry :(

:)

Brian,

Do not fret......winter only officially started a day or two ago....we will have plenty of snow to breal in that new blower.....I've already used mine quite a bit this year.....

Sick people....

I have a unit waiting in the garage for the inevitable twelve inches and I'd be THRILLED to never need to start it again!

May I suggest you all go out and purchase a nice new lawn tractor and wish for spring! :)

How much snow do you usually get? NYC only averages 17" per season.

We average 7" in Boston season to date, and have received a little over 10", but nothing difficult to remove, really - 6" of wet snow and a few flurries for the rest.

So, it's not me and my new blower?  With the snow amounts here I won't do the 2 hour oil change 'till March. Hmm.. what can a guy use a snowblower for?

you could use it to blow the dog crap from your lawn.  might be a little messy.

I had the same thing happen here in newton MA. Murphys law. I finally talked my mom into getting a snow blower, and a big(well, for our house with a 20X30 driveway) 926le at that. Since then we got rain equalling at least 3 feet of snow, and about 2 inches of snow and 1 inch of slush. We got the blower after the first "storm" which dropped 8 inches.
