Last night, near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. First rip of the season with my daughters snowmobile. She really does handle it very well, considering she's 3 years old. It surprises me that it has enough power to pull all these turkeys around on a toboggan behind it.

Here's what 24 inches of snow looks like. Lucky I had my high tech shovel to take care of my 1/4 mile driveway.

We only got about an inch and a half. But this thread confirms it, I dislike snow no matter where it is... :)

I think the Texas man wins this contest. :dude:

[Moltisanti]

Graham I absolutely love your house, I'd like me one of those one day :D

Don't even want to get out the shovel... BWI measured it at 20 1/2". -Took these pictures today, 12/21.

I just have two words for some of you shovelers.

SNOW BLOWER!

Best purchase I ever made.

Jason,
How do they work on gravel drives?

Jason,

Believe it or not, I used to use mine on a gravel drive. I just didn't let it all the way down on the gravel. I left a thin layer of snow on top of it. It worked great. MUCH better than shoveling. I have two herniated disks in my lower back so the snow blower was a God send to me. After I used it a couple of times, I couldn't believe I waited so long to get one.

I think some of the bigger ones have guides or glides on the bottom edges of the intake on the front that you can adjust so it won't scrape down into the gravel.

Great pictures!
Merry Christmas to my British friends.
Enjoy the snow and drink plenty of ale. :dude:

My road is like an ice rink here in Gloucestershire, Uk but when looking at some of those pics makes it seem stupid that our country comes to a standstill when we get a little bit of snow.
