We got a foot of snow today..
While a foot of snow is a non-story in Rochester..(it slows the city down for about 5 minutes, but then things are right back to normal..)
a foot of snow does however have a big impact on me personally!
I have a LARGE driveway to shovel!
A storm like this requires over an hour of serious strenuous shoveling to clear the driveway..
its really a bit too much..
This is the third winter in the new house..and its time to get a snowblower..(snow-thrower)
I know next to nothing about them..actually, I have never even used one even once in my life..
I did some reading on-line..
found about about:
electric (no good)
single stage (no good)
double stage (what I need)
any tips or advice?
features to look for?
favorite brands?
I plan to head to the library to look through past issues of Consumer Reports before I buy..which I always like to do..
thanks,
Scot
