Such a different world!
Hi Jim, It can be quite beautiful.
I bet its most likely very quiet and peaceful at night Gil when its snowing.

Hey Gil, it is snowing here currently (a little), can I borrow your blower in case it starts piling up deep? ;c)

I'd say that was one heck of a bargain you scored on that one Gil .... almost as good as if it had been a STEAM ENGINE!!! ;c)
Yes, almost....
Thanks, Daniel!

That's a beast of a snow blower Gil, & for a bargain as well.😊
Thanks, Bruce!
It's a good machine for us as we have about 500 feet of driveway.

Iremember using one of these and the smell of the oiled gas and the cold air and snow flying back at ya. Then summer came we would siphon the fuel into the lawn mower and run it dry and then mow the lawn all summer only to siphon the mower back to the blower in the fall.
And now you're in San Diego where you likely don't get too concerned about snow.
I pour stabilized fuel into them and leave the remaining until next season.
After closing the fuel valve, I run them until they quit.
(unless they are very close to empty and then I just run them until dry)

You stole that snowblower at $200!! Those are excellent machines.
I just picked up a Honda HS1332ATD with 10 hrs on it and I paid way more than $200 for it! Lol
Mike, you stole that Honda, too!

We had a snow storm that came shortly after the snow blower video was shot.
I don't know how much new snow came because by the time I got up Ice was accumulating.
I cleared the driveway again during a morning break in the weather on Saturday.
Then as I finished around 10:30 am it began to rain ice.
Later in the day it would rain and freeze leaving everything coated with ice including all the trees.

The ice in the trees is quite beautiful.
