Ah Dr_Woof, now you've done it, betrayed a national secret, that the real capitol of Canada (Toronto's) municipal (city) govenment controls the federal government's (national) military.  You might as well post a picture of the secret telephone that Mayor Mel Lastman used in 1999 to call Canada's then Defence Minister Art Eggleton on.  http://www.cp24.com/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20090111/090111_snow_10years/20090111/?hub=CP24Home

This pic is from 3 or 4 Snow Storms ago in the Northeast. It's piled way higher now, including on the roof (!!). The little Toro 221Q has been a lifesaver, so far.....

(Damn photobucket doesn't work, so I deleted the faulty link. What's next, locusts?)

I'm glad to hear your Toro 221 is getting the job done.  I've recently bought a 221QE.

According to a couple people on this forum, the 221 is only good for up to 6" of snow. 

Would you please give us your account of what the 221 has done for you? 

There are a few of us here who would like to know.

It looks like one of the guys lost a contact lens and they're trying to find it.

Well, my Toro 221 went though EOD that was over the top of the blower with no issues. Yes it did bog down but never stalled, That thing is a pit bull.
We got 12" of snow and it just powered though it.
I call it the little engine that could. LOLOL!

Feeling pretty good about yesterday's work in clearing up the Greater Toronto Area's supposed best storm in three years and EOD thereof, I thought I would swing by my house at lunchtime today to admire the work of yesterday (first two pics) and the progress of the sun on the snow remnants.

Turns out "Mr. Town Plow" had paid me a visit in the morning.  So the subsequent pics show "how I spent my lunchtime today".  Great weather and great machines.  Dropped in to HD for a take-out meatball sub and looked at the remaining snow machines on the way back to work, so all is well that ends well.

Very impressed with the Ariens' chewing ability.

Great Pics!  

Did you have any problems with the Ariens chute clogging? I noticed while I was out that many Ariens owners had their chute unclogging tools out.

"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."
