How many times this winter did you get the beast out?

We are smack in the middle of February and here in Montreal Quebec Canada , i've only taken the toro out twice. Talk about no snow. Seems when I was a young lad growing up in the 70's and early 80' s we had so much more snow. Have you guys used your machines much this year? I've used more wd40 and oil than gas  Cheers Jim

Awesome picture AJace! Only good week of snow here outside of Buffalo was a few weeks ago when I was vacationing in Mexico...my son had all the fun. I have been using the Ariens 1332 DLE every few days to clear drifts and a few inches here and there. I am really waiting for a nice "dumping" to really test the baby out. So far it has never come close to bogging down or clogging. Nothing worthy of a picture yet, but here we still have almost a few months of snow left. The way I see it, you don't cry because you just paid for another year of fire insurance and your house did not burn down all year........... It's a fact that we have good and bad years, and as long as I live here, there WILL be snowfalls worthy of my snowblower. Frank D.

My display is reading 9 hrs.  . The weatherman is calling for a 1" event tonight but nothing more  . I want to continue to try out my chain tensioner modification and now my new adjustable carburator. I came in here to read all the posts and saw this one...  Robert, I had no idea I have the makings for a fan club that has been following my example. I'm flattered  BTW....my Sundec tach/hour meter shows 5 hours. I'd say 50% of that was due to experimenting. I hope all your ad-ons are working as well as mine.
