Boats,

You've got an 8HP snow blower?! Damn, man! You could use that to clear the roads never mind just your driveway! I've got a Toro 3HP with the 2-cycle engine and it works great, and it was less than $250.

I had a two stroke blower two years ago. Then we had three feet of snow on Christmas day. A 7-1/2 foot snowplow and a 8 cylinder Silverado does a lot better on 300' of driveway

I'm not to far away from WEST POINT.
It was a bit warmer this morning, 14! We hit a high of 43.

I spent a winter in Millington Tenn. Never saw so much ice! Sure as heck know the folks there couldn't drive on it.

A snow blower: an Eskimo Whore.

Oh, we can drive on it. Stopping's a problem though. You stomp and stomp and the dang thang still won't stop. Couple of winters ago there was a bank at a curve near here that had three cars, one on top of the other.
