I was in that Shiite you got... this weekend.
I have a Front wheel drive car with Awesome Tires and a Great Driver. An Olds Bravada... all-time 4-wheel drive. nice.
I also have a 10HP(conservative) (rebuilt motor ... zoom zoom only runs on premium, gotta prime the crap out of it to start it though)
28" wide... 32" Tall main scoop. Throw snow 50 feet or right next to you.
I also, have Carhart Jackets, Pants and some Good Insulated work boots. Gloves are $6 cheapies from a Plumbing Work store, they are awesome for how thin they are. Nice Stocking hat with neck cover.
I can stay out and let the dogs run while I snow-blow mine and 4 other neighbors, Clean off all the cars and Snow-rake the roof.
I love Winter. I wish it were here LONGER and about 10 times the snow.
I figure it this way: In Winter, you can stay warm with good clothing. In summer, I am sure, more than one person will agree they really do not want to see me trying to stay cool in a G-String Speedo, IOW, I can't take enough clothes off to stay cool.
Now you know why I like Winter.
