I do not have the Ariens cab but I have a large blower with a cab. For me, I face west and have open farm fields surrounding me. It gets very windy out there! The wind has never been a problem for me but I have a 30" blower and the counterweight is about 14 pounds. I often let it sit out in the wind while I use my tractor blade to clean things up. The only thing I needed to be careful about is that since I am tall, my head will hit the top if I am leaning and need to turn the blower.

MacGarage: Not to hi-jack the thread but I have the very same snow cab. Looking at your pic, you have room to raise the cab a couple inches. I can raise the cab a bit more but it will not fit through the garage door. It is not a problem...just something I had to get used to.

The theory is good if you have a choice.
+1. I also have to shoot the snow to the west, where the wind always comes from, or so it seems. Otherwise, I'd violate the other Directive; "do not throw snow onto thy neighbour's lawn or driveway". The best part of having the cab will be not having to zip up every single jacket or pant pocket or risk filling them with blow-back snow. My face and eyes will also thank me. P.S. Thanks for all the replies and especially the nice pics.
