Frozen snowblower! Original Message Feb 4, 2011 3:47 pm
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.

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.
