    We are supposed to get that crap by the weekend. It was sunny and 40s today, great working on lighting on south side of building.

        Ditto on the Ariens. Got mine New Years Eve a couple years ago. 4 days later we got about 20”. I think I spent about $500 on mine. Also bought the electric start, because I do NOT have a sense of humor when it’s 10 degrees out and I have to pull on the **** thing to start it.

          Green. Between my house and the Illinois border.

          Actual trout streams are closed until 1/7, but there is a fair amount of unclassified water south of me and some of it holds trout.

          And smallies, channels, walleye and northern.


          I (trout) fish up your way a little sometimes - in the Baraboo Ridge and also southwest of you.

            Oh yeah... electric starter is key.

              Agreed. I researched blowers and Ariens is top shelf. I just purchased the Ariens 30 SHO Platinum.

                I prefer Toro.

                Definitely went with the two stage though. Didn’t want to **** around when I needed it.

                  Agreed. Bought my house in January 2009, and I live on a corner. Had an Ariens delivered that day. I only use the electric start once or twice a year, but it's worth it for those days. The snowblower itself was worth it just for the time we got 2 feet of heavy snow in 24 hours.

                  on a related note, it was 60+ degrees today.

                    I'm a shoveler. Just don't have that much area to clear, and I don't feel like hauling a blower up and down the steps for the front sidewalk. I'm also far too sedentary with my job, and I don't want to pay someone to lift heavy things. Yard work and snow shoveling are my "workouts."

                      I never minded mowing or shoveling. Did I ever look forward to it? Naw. It wasn't a PITA to me, though.
                      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                        I have quite a bit of shoveling but took that approach for years, since I have a sedentary job as well. Seemed the environmentally responsible thing to do too, under the circumstances. Gave in to age, though I still rake and keep the blower in the garage for lighter snows.

                                That's not circulatory then. You need a blue for every red or you're having a seizure.
