We had our first snow on…Thursday. Over 8 inches of snow fell during the day, and it was an absolute bear to shovel on Friday morning before we left for work. Here’s the driveway after we had finished:
Yesterday we got a snowthrower. More specifically, a Toro brand, 828-LXE model. And it’s a beast, both bigger and more powerful than the one we used to have for the Marcy home.
We were supposed to get a mighty storm today (and through last night), but so far the total snowfall seems less than Thursday. Even so, it was more than enough to put our new toy through a workout:
The leftmost image is KLS, the rightmost (obviously) me. Since I don’t really mind shovelling, much of the driving force behind getting this was KLS, especially since I’ll be gone for 3 weeks just after Christmas. She loves it, so I’m glad 🙂
Here’s a video of me using it. The manual claims it can throw snow 45 feet, and I don’t doubt it!
