(ET) Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

["Darryl McMahon" <darryl econogics com>]

I'm cold, I'm wet, and grinning like a madman.

The ET E12 is plugged in and sucking in amps.

New data point - 2 1/2 hours of blowing snow on a charge with old, cold 
batteries.  
The ET was definitely tired at that point, but I had done 5 driveways, 
including 
plow droppings, and a chunk of the street by then.

Single-stage, 36" snow thrower on the front.  It's a little fussy about 
how much 
snow you feed it.  Was there ever a 2-stage blower made for the ET?  That 
would 
really be something to see in action.

Managed to dislodge a tire chain, have to go out and remedy that once I 
warm up 
again.  

After many years of doing this by hand, and with gas-powered walk-behinds, 
snow 
clearing with the ET is positively fun by comparison.

Thank you ET list for all your assistance and advice over the past couple 
of years. 
This machine, now that it works, is a real joy.  So far, I have managed to 
use the 
snowblower, rototiller, hand-cultivator and rotary sweeper on my ET.  All 
are 
great!  I have not used the mower or the plowblade yet; yard is too small 
to 
justify using the mower now that the tiller has let me make a good-sized 
garden, 
and landscaping is yet to come.

May the New Year (and millennium) bring you all health, prosperity and 
satisfaction.
