Re: (ET) Plows suck for snow (dead blower)

["David Roden" <etpost drmm net>]

Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, I had a rusty old blade and a 
craggy old but working snow thrower for my E15.  Tried the snow thrower 
once with somewhat wet snow.  It clogged almost immediately.  

Cleared it.  Threw a little snow and it clogged again.  Rinse, repeat.

By and by, though I, this is for de boids.  I may have thought it a little 
bluer than that, actually.  At any rate, I took the beastly blower off, 
wrestled it into the garage, and put on the dozer blade.  

That worked better.  

Once I got tire chains, it was MUCH better.

For the rest of the E15's life with me, I cleared our driveway with the 
blade.  It always did a fine job.  I left the snow thrower right where I'd 
parked it that snowy day.  Never missed it once. About 15-20 years on, I 
gave it away to a good home.

That's how blade vs snow thrower went for me.  As with just about 
everything, though, your mileage may vary.
