Here is a picture of me blowing 7 inches of snow with a snow blower on February 2nd.Our neighbor's Daughter-In-Law is from Portland,Oregon and has never seen a snow blower work so she came out in the cold and took some pictures,gave one to her Mother-In-Law to give to me.Dad would approve of it and wonder why it took so long to use one.It is easy to use and easier than a shovel.
