7 Driveways Cleared Plus 2 Cul-De-Sac’s!!

My car is buried! We have the front of our cars mostly cleared out in these pictures. Mother Nature 0, Erik’s kick butt snow blower 1! In a little over 2 hours we cleared out 7 driveways and 2 cul-de-sacs. Even when the snow was a foot or more higher than the snow blower it kept on going.

I had an absolute BLAST!! I'm tired beyond belief right now but in a good way.

We had to clear a path to get the big boy out and dig out the cars a bit so went old school. My arms are like putty right now.

My wife talked me into going bigger with the snow blower and I thank her for that BIG TIME!

Ok, so she talked me into it so I would stop complaining, what ever works right?

If I would have to stay many more winters here I think I would rig a way to attach a blower like that to the front of my John Deere, then I would really be able to move some snow.

The good thing is it can move A LOT, but that can be bad too because if I don't aim it properly it can actually throw it into my neighbors driveway 30ft away! Doh!

So I have to be careful but boy was it fun!

Looks like with all the snow and power outages, this year might be a good year to invest in a Generac Natural Gas fired auto switchover/starting whole-house backup generator. ;)

The wife and I have considered a house generator but the cost is pretty steep and the chance of another storm like this happening is likely 10+ years from now and we'll hopefully be long gone from this house by then.

Big Matt said...

There is a less expensive option, a friend of mine uses it for his farm.

He has a 10,000 watt Champion generator that he uses in conjunction with a cut off switch.

He manually disconnects the house from the grid, then has a breaker in the circuit box that he connects a heavy duty specialty cord to a twist lock outlet near the junction box and plugs that into the Champion.

The chammpy is far less expensive than the generac, but it is gasoline powered vs natural gas.

Hi There! Thanks for following A Camp Host's Meanderings. I look forward to following you on your journey. I like how you document the storm with pictures and descriptions! Here in sunny Central Coast California, it is hard to imagine the snow and cold. Take care, stay warm...

Thanks for visitng our blog, we hope you can hit the road soon, too!

BTW, I love my snowblower, too. But when we hit the road FT, we're taking it to Key West and donate it to a city park and make a flower planter out of it! ;c)
