It paid for itself on the first day of use considering my desk job calibre back didn't hurt anymore. |
Car was absolutely covered this morning. I was 3.5 hours late for work cause I got stuck and couldn't power out lol. The snow on the hood was almost as tall as the roofline of the car. I have staggered cement blocks after the steps to my place, it's like it doesn't exist. I first attempted at 6:30am. Didn't finish clearing the driveway and being able to get out until 9:00am lol. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...51e7091c08.jpg This was a cool pic I took, but it was really not intentional and I was stuck like that. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...30af101c55.jpg This is how far I got. Even tried putting down gravel and cardboard LOL. It just swung left and right. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ab9343fa19.jpg Here's how much snow. It was like shovel height. I estimate 8-9" https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3f25a72b3f.jpg Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk |
As expected, all the surrounding buildings shoveled the snow from the sidewalks on to the curb of the road which is now blocking every storm drain on the block. I'm staring at the intersection and its like a swimming pool. Water has nowhere to go.. I know where the drain is outside my building so I'll have to try and find it with my foot tonight when I take the dog out. |

I bought an Ego snowblower back in summer when it went on sale at Ronas. Friend thought I was crazy... but I told him between all the sidewalks and driveway that I have to cover, I'm already going light when some of my old-timer neighbors got the rider type snowblower. And god was I glad to have that thing. I cleared my driveway and sidewalks before heading out today in under 20min... it's easily a 2hr work if I had to shovel my way out and the sidewalk given how deep and sticky was today's snow. |
I bought one from princess auto cause it was on sale. If I had to pay retail. I wouldn't think it's worth it. Quote:

Spotted this abandoned Mustang today. https://i.postimg.cc/D7DC6pnk/stang.jpg |

How do you like yours? Maybe there's a better technique and I'm not using mine correctly, but I find it's impossible to control where the snow gets displaced. It just shoots out at a 15 ft high arc. |
just had to be a mustang fucking shit up right?. |

i was able to source a carburetor for our 2-stroke snow blower.... after the dump came and left haha. It does clear slushy snow but clogs up the chute easily |
Cool, more snow this morning. If I never seen snow again for the rest of my life I'd be quite happy with that outcome. I moved out of the prairies to get away from it but here it is. |
Snowing AGAIN! I can't believe I'm saying this but, I miss rain... I prefer rain over snow. |
Let it snow. It's awesome. I didn't expect it to but bring on the snow. |
I prefer snow. But I prefer if it stays. Rather than the stupid snow/melt cycle. Tons of massive potholes have emerged as a result of this cycle. Tons of idiots on the road today. |
this snow can fuck off! |
only want the snow to melt enough that city comes to collect the 3 weeks worth of garbage then continue snowing :lol |
I like the snow, but I also kind of wanna fly to somewhere nice n sunny :lol |
people leaving out their garbage for days and after the small wind storm, there is garbage all over the alley way now |
There's video on tiktok of cars abandoned/crashed all along the road to whistler, lots of suvs too Guess it's the "I have awd I don't need winter tires" crowd |
I drove Friday morning on winters and it wasn’t pretty out there. Dude in front of me in a 4 runner pulled over and flipped a u turn after sliding around for about 10km. Pure ice. Doesn’t matter how well equipped you are if A) you don’t know what you’re doing B) you just have some shit luck |
Running my all terrain Falken AT3Ws on my F150 all year around. They have the 3 peak snowflake symbol but it's amazing how shitty my truck feels in 2 wheel drive with an empty bed VS 4x4 when conditions get really slippery. It goes from feeling like a Mustang to absolutely no problem. |

I guess if you don't call and complain you don't get your shit picked up, pretty dumb lol. |
Saw this gem on Friday. Hope the tree is okay. https://i.postimg.cc/YCdJmrvj/20220107-140615.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/05JPRwbn/20220107-140433.jpg |
