 Hi, all, 
man, what a great series of posts on batteries, 
charging, and temperature. I'm sure a lot of you are typing or reading the same 
things over by now, but I just keep on soaking up them good data. I'm humbled 
and happy to be on the list, as ever. 
I have worked hard to keep my snowthrower throwing 
over the last couple of years, and am, by and large, very, very happy to have 
the thing. I doooo wonder, though, about the simple efficacy of a plow blade. Up 
here near Boston, we get light fluffy snow from time to time (more rare) and 
that is a dream to throw. (Thanks to the cold weather we had about 3" of the 
lightest stuff you've ever seen. It seemed like Utah, or fake snow 
from the movies. I got to run the tractor at its highest speed while throwing 
snow without taking the current draw gauge into the yellow. Unprecedented for 
me.) Mostly we get wet heavy stuff, though, and I have worked hard on my dynamic 
speed-tuning snowthrowing technique to avoid clogging. And it still clogs, 
despite waxes, paints, Pam, lucky charms, etc. 
Someone just posted about trying a plow and never 
going back... So how about plows and heavy snow? Particularly, how deep a wet 
snow can you plow?
