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

I just bought a two stage toro826 last month.  Yesterday, I used it on our first snow of the year.  Worked great on the snow, threw it some 40 feet or so.  When I got to the EOD stuff the plow left, things changed.  The plow left a nice mixture of snow that had turned into slush.  All that stuff got stuck in the chute and plugged up everything.  Is that normal for a two stage snowblower?  How can you fix it? 

All good ideas .I use wd-40 before I start my machine.
