Let it Snow!

We took the plunge after getting hammered last year and bought a snow blower. It was on sale a couple weekends ago so figured what the heck. Over the weekend I broke open the box and extracted the beast from its cave. It looks like one hell of a machine, to say I am intimidated would be a gross under statement.

The model we got is the Ariens 927. It's a 9 hp, 27" width with an electric start and more knobs and levers than I know what to do with. It was pretty straight forward putting it together as all I really needed to do was raise the handle and attach the shoot.

With the wide open field to the West of the house last year we got slammed a lot with huge drifts and big head aches. This year we hope it will be different. I never thought I would hope for a shit load of snow but bring it on!
