I mean... wake up, to 12-16" white snow everywhere is beautiful... I can hear things i could not before. I hear the wind kick up... trees creaking, I hear faintly, dogs barking and play with kids from blocks away. It is tranquil. I get dressed and go out front to shovel my front walkway, sidewalk, car and parking spot.(about 2 hours work or more) I have one of those orange curved plastic shovels (which work excellent btw) It makes it a very easy job. My neighbor across the way has a snowblower. An ugly loud POS. I freaking hate snow blowers. And what pisses me of...is he will stay out there all freaking day with his loud pos blower. WTF. I can shovel the same amount in half the time and I have chronic back pain with 3 herniated discs and this pusst mfer runs his fkin pos blower EVERY FREAKING snow. Hey neighbor: F *k you, You F *king F *K!! I just added him the my list of people I would love to punch in the face.  I guess I should have got up earlier and had coffee before I went out.

How do you feel about leaf blowers? | ||
| Xb12xmike |
I have one... thats different. The snow on the ground changes the audio of your surroundings. The snow absorbs and dampens the sound, which makes sounds clearer and quieter. | ||

I will get over it...  | ||

I'll disagree on the snowblower. When we have a heavy snow I can blast that away (especially at the end of the driveway after the snow plow) in half the time and much less effort than shoveling. I can't see giving myself a heart attack either. BTW, how many of you that don't like snowblowers have loud pipes on your bike? eh Spidey? | ||

When i used to live where it snowed a lot, there was no substitute to a snow blower, try shoveling 2 ft of snow off the entire driveway in under 2 hours or do it in 30 min with the snowblower. Spidey, you are more than welcome to come broom/rake up the leaves in my yard. I usually have about 100+ 50 gallon bags of leafs every year. | ||

Yeah, and what's up with the lawn mower snobs? Get out your scissors and do the job right! | ||
| Xb12xmike |
lol....thats funny bad. Well...I understand if we got snow like u guys up north... and I would probably have a snowblower too... but we talking about jersey. Ok,..my next bike purchase will have to be a Drummer. | ||

You guys would really hate me. I had the quad out plowing this morning. I try to hook up my neighbors too. | ||
| Xb12xmike |
I don't rake leaves anymore... the wind blows everyone elses leaves onto my property, I may use a blower but I usually just cut/mulch them with my lawn mower or tractor. | ||

Sold my ATV with a blade 3 years ago, and days like today I really regret it. My wife helps me shovel, so I am lucky there, she does remind me of how nice it was with the ATV though. Every time we shovel, she says she is going to buy a snow blower, but she doesn't. | ||

im sorry, but i am NOT shoveling waist deep or deeper snow. to get my bikes out of the shed so i could bring them to florida i spent close to 2 hours with a 9 horse snow blower trying to get through the snow on the way to my shed. no way i was doing that by hand. i have other crap to do, and ive screwed up my body plenty bad enough i dont feel like wasting what its got left doing that. although i do shovel my sidewalk and deck. | ||

Leave blowers, yes, I've had neighbors use them WAY too much and for WAY too long at a time. Snowblowers, in WI, are a must. I went halfs in on a $1500 Simplicity 30" 2-stage this winter, and it works great! The ATV with a blade works for the fluffier snow, but with the heavier snow it doesn't get any traction on the blacktop. Oh, did I mention the driveway is 900 feet? | ||

BTW, how many of you that don't like snowblowers have loud pipes on your bike? eh Spidey? Yeah but I am not across the street revin the motor for 30 min  And I am talking about the suburbs, where the drive way is less that 40 ft, and the same about the sidewalk... If you have property and the nearest house isn't 5 to 10 ft away then good onya, but when the guy across the street uses the leaf blower to blow a handfull of grass clipings, C'MON!!!! | ||

We just had over 50cm of snow in 24hrs. I just LOVE my Toro Snowblower, so do my neighbors who I graciously help because they are older retired people. | ||
| Dentguy |
I wish I had a snowblower today. It finished snowing earlier. 26" here. | ||
| Ratbuell |
33" here. Back hurts. But, truck and jeep are free. And once I can see pavement again...so is the Uly  | ||
