Modding my snowblower

[JRMichler]

Just this morning I removed 8 inches of snow from 250 feet of driveway, including the plow turds, plus a path to the gas meter. Took a little over a half hour with my 10 hp Ariens.

Then I went out for an hour on my snowshoes.

With a shovel, I would still be shoveling.

In the days of the Model T, most (if not all) homeowners didn't have snowblowers.

That's true. Back then most if not all homeowners could find young backs that would shovel their driveway for a nickle

Not sure how eco this is, but I use the snow/ice melt and or rock salt. It depends on what they sell after the fact at the local stores for a few dollars a bag. I just throw it on the walk way and driveway before a storm or right after it starts. Depending on how hard and fast it snows it can build up, but soon as it stops the snow/ice vanishes leaving a clear walk way.

T's had so much ground clearance they didn't need a clear path

But you all have trucks

I could simply drive the truck... but I don't.

And skinny tires to carve down through to the pavement. But I bet they still utterly sucked in the snow, else why would somebody have made this...

The real problem is that we need to EV Frank Lee's arms. Sure, sure, the conversion would be incomplete until we also convert his back and legs, but those are mere details!

I always wanted to use a flamethrower. Sadly, people usually say "You mean a snowblower." They tell me that, not even considering that I think that a giant ball of fire would be entertaining, if not useful, but I figure that if I melt the snow and then evaporate the water, it would be perfect!

Like that "CAT" suit Sigourney used on Alien? Yeah, I would TOTALLY DIG THAT!!! (PUN!)
