This last weekend we recieved 50+ cm (20 inches) of snow, from Friday afternoon till early hours Sunday morning.
Enuff Already, I'm ready for spring!
I started the snow blower up saturday morning, I have a 130 feet of lane/drive way. About 15 minutes into it the snowblower jambs & stalls. It picked up a stone in the impeller.
I got that out but it bent the impeller blade and broke the drive belt.
Took me two hours to get it apart, straighten the impeller then off the find a V-belt. No luck at CTC, Co-op, TSC nor Home Hardware. Finally lucked out at John Deer dealer. I got it back together about 4:30 in the afternoon, but I was cold tired & hungry, so I called it quits.
Sunday morning fired up the snowblower and in 2 hours I had the drive way clear, another hour to shovel front side walk & still another hour to clear the deck. There was 30 cm ( 12 in)min depth & drifts to 100 cm (40 inches) in the drive way and front walk, the deck is sheltered so only about 25 cm (10 inches) acumulated on it.
Just to top it off the snow plow shows about 4:30 Sunday afternoon (the first time this weekend), so I had to clean out the end of the drive way again. It was still nice and Sunny at 5:00 pm so I ended up taking the dogs for a walk.
