[NFBMT] Using A Snow Blower

[Rik James]

David,
I just huff and puff, and puff some more.  Then I up and blow, blow, blow!!
They wind me up with a key on Saturdays.
And I always seem to have plenty of hot air.
At least that is what they tell me anyhow.

Although I must admit, this week, there have been some mighty adverse
subzero temperatures. And the wind has had me beat completely.

I don't think I would want to operate a snowblower, for the noise.
But perhaps I could get into it.
But it has been pretty tempting these past days. 
Shoulders, biceps, all have had their challenges. 
What is better than a winter wonderland?
Maybe a spring break?

Who can report their accumulations of snow?
I think we are pretty much at 2 and a half feet in Bozeman.
It's been a long spell of cold, and some series of days when the snow did
not slow up much.
Our coldest night was -35, which was Sunday night, or early Monday March 4.

Rik James

David,
	I had an electric snow shovel but ran into problems with too much
hard snow.  I see no problem with an electric or gas powered snow blower.
Just making sure of your direction of the snow being spewed out is good.  I
Recommend a battery start for the gas powered.
Good luck with whatever you do.

I am looking for any totally blind person who has experience independently
using a snow blower, or power snow shovel.  Any tips or experiences would be
appreciated, or is this something I shouldn't do.  Gas versus electric?
etc.???

Dave
