**** the gad damn snow already!!! More coming next week too!! WTF!! ![vash](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/vash.gif)
Yesterday I had our place to deal with, then today I had to go to my parents house and finish what my ****** brother couldn't handle.
Normally I'm either driving the miata through the winter or its inside the shop. This year that's not the case so its just sitting outside in the elements. Cleaning it off today brought a tear to my eye.![Tear](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/tear.gif)
1st 9 pics are @ my parents, the other 4 is at our place. We only got about 18-19 inches VS the 2' Danbury got.

Go buy a good snowblower... /thread
I shoveled and had crappy blower for the last 3 years... Just spent $1500 on a new Ariens blower and haven't looked back. Busted my first shear pin on it yesterday, I feel like a man now.

Yeah I agree that I could use some machinery to help me the **** out. For our place we were thinking about getting one, but I really need to talk my parents into getting one first. My dad was just laid out in the hospital with major back surgery and shouldn't even be thinking about shoveling a inch of snow. That's really why I went to take care of it, knowing that if I didnt he would try on his own.
When I lived at the farm one of my jobs was to clear all the snow from the mile long driveway, horse barn, paddocks, other animal areas, etc. They bought a brand new Polaris ranger with an enclosed capsule and a plow. That **** was so much fun. During a snow storm I would be running that thing for hours on end until it started to overheat, give it a little break and then go right back to it. Sometimes I would fire up the bucket loader when it was really starting to pile up, that was even more fun. lol
