" Just enjoy that outstanding view while you clear snow, your video is a post card of snow throwing locales!" I thank my lucky star every day to be fortunate to live where I live and have the health to enjoy it. We were at a dinner party last night and everyone sitting around was moaning and groaning about winter, having to deal with cold temps and snow etc. and talk about trips to warm destinations. I was the odd man out. I told them that I love winter and I love snow. Bring it on. This year I bought a cheap old Skidoo Elan to push trails into the bush behind out house so that we could walk them during the winter. Much nicer than walking out on the streets or roads. Sadly, my Elan broke down with an electrical problem and I'm waiting for a warm day to pull the engine to fix it. In the mean time, I've been keeping the trail packed by foot along with help from numerous deer, wolves, coyotes, fox and lynx. The wife and I just come back from a 2.5 mile walk on this loop trail: Don't wig out about the picture Trouts, for some reason, I cannot re-size it. My area up here looks a lot like that, less evergeens tho. Also no way you could walk 2.5 miles here like you can up in your area. Great pic!
"If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you live in New England." "If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in New England."

You are definitely blessed to have such beautiful scenery within walking distance. From your videos, you seem to be in top shape operating the Toro have and the health to enjoy it. Like you, while most people I know complain about snow and cold, including my wife. I love winter. A few days ago, a neighbor stopped by to ask why I was shoveling snow when I have enough equipment to take care of a small park? I said, because I enjoy shoveling.
