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

I keep my snowblower in and unheated shed. After I am done using it, I get as much snow and moisture off as I can. But still the snowblower freezes up out there. Heating the shed is not an option. Any suggestions on a type of cover that I can throw over it to keep it warm enough that it won't freeze(if that is possible)? Its been -10c to -20c lately so I am not sure if anything can keep it warm in those conditions.

You need this  http://www.amazon.com/Kats-1153-Handi-Heat-Magnetic-Heater/dp/B000BOABS6  affordable and works

Can you get an extension cord to your shed or park it closer to some power source?  If so throwing a canvas tarp over it with one of those small ceramic electric heaters under it would work.  The heaters are about the size of a 7" cube.  Will work on a 15amp circuit.  I have a wooden box I park my blower inside of.  Brushing off the blower and letting the heater run for about 3 to 4 hours usually melts everything.
I place the heater underneath the handle bars on the ground and point it towards the blower housing.
