Re: (ET) First snow report from the blower

Chris, how much snow did you get? We had less than an inch or so in Leesburg.

Only about 3 inches. We're supposed to get more this weekend. Yay!

The POR15 does make a nice smooth finish. It's not rated as being UV resistant - not sure what the effect is. I think the best way to buy it is to get the six-pack. One small can will cover a lot of area - say one implement (mower, blower, etc). They caution against keeping partial cans.

Apparently it discolors it or something. Not a big deal in the chute since (1) It's not exposed to light and (2) I don't care. On the big tiller I used latex Elec-Trak yellow and it looks perfect.



In my experience, it's wet, packed snow that will clog the chute. The first few times I blew snow, it was deep powder and I couldn't understand the complaints about clogs. Then I tried to blow wet snow that had partially melted down, many clogs.

True; forgot about that. We'll see how it works, however I seem to recall the problem being snow sticking to the rust.
