I got the new snowblower running this morning and did a test run on the edges of the driveway. The thing is a beast. Ate right through the packed snow and ice leftover from the last storm. I'll need it tomorrow as we're supposedto get 2 feet here, and my driveway is about 50 meters long, plus the front walk is another 20 meters.
