Yes, it is. We all know that is a rule regarding snowblowers. But the shovels are always ready to work - I wonder why that is.

March came like a lion and is leaving like a hyena ( chewed us up and pissed on us).
Ps this snow will be to wet for your blower. Schools let out early today. Not a flake in the sky.

Murph, you just may have to test the snow blower and the shovel operator first; before you go out and work out the AWD in your car! :lol:

Nah, my little buggy is staying in the garage so it can't get into any trouble. When the pavement is dry again, I will venture forth. :DFor me, the "D" in "AWD" means DRY . :roll: :lol:

Lawn was white from later yesterday's precip and the driveways were clear when I 1st got up; 30 min later the driveways were white and now we've got a good 1-2" with solid steady snow coming down. If it continues all day, I will probably have to break out the snow blower, sacrifice a chicken to the Gods, and hope it runs.

Good luck with that...the Ariens is dead, not even a dowsing with the Holy Essence would bring it to life. Neighbor's Honda fired right up after sitting two years untouched... :x

About eight inches here...looks like ~ an inch per hour for the next seven or eight hours. Wish I had the liniment concession on this place...

Take your spark plug out. Then hit the plug hole with a blow torch.(careful of eyebrows). Pull starter cord with plug out and re torch. Do that a few times. Heat your plug with your torch. Spray some starting fluid into spark plug hole. Place your spark plug back in and try to start it. Repeat that a few times if needed. A little wd40 into the spark plug hole want hurt. I just pulled our shop blower inside. It starts better when it is warm. Tomorrow morning it will be 60 degrees in the shop when i try to start it.

Tough. I'll try the Toro later today after I find a chicken to sacrifice.

Seems a waste of a chicken.
