SaveByRichter35 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 All rain on LI. Thank goodness. My snowblower is one of my favorite things I own but I want it to rot away in my garage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I just can't see buying a snowblower to maybe use 3-4 times a year, tops, but I don't have a lot to shovel either. Maybe once I widen my driveway... Then again my neighbor usually just does everyone's driveway so I can hold off LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I just don't want to have a heart attack shoveling. Happens once a year in my town. Always the heavy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You average 4 feet of snow a year, my town averages 2 haha. I'd definitely have a blower if I lived in your neck of the woods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe once I widen my driveway... Then again my neighbor usually just does everyone's driveway so I can hold off LOL. I'm the neighbor that does a bunch of my neighbor's houses. My neighbor is FDNY and sometimes isn't home, stuck at the fire house. So I do them. Next to them is a younger couple with an infant, I do them. Beyond them is an old man, I do him. Across the street from me is an older guy and a shithead druggy 20something good for nothing son, I do them. Next to them is an older couple, I do them. Granted, its not why I bought my blower, with the intent to do the whole neighborhood. I just hate shoveling and I got it on sale at the end of the season lol. I have a pretty 4+ car driveway and the blows here a fucking terrible so I spend more time clearing the road in front of our houses than I do the driveways. But I agree its a questionable purchase if there isn't a lot of space to clear. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, once I widen my driveway it would fit four cars so then I think it would make sense to try and pick one up. Also my neighbor that does ours probably isn't going to be doing it forever haha, he's a bit older. But he said once you get it going and you're in a groove, it's easy to just go house to house.

It's also just plain fun to do. I just hate everything that comes with the snow. Everything is always a wet mess, people can't drive. Did I say the plows suck? Fuck you Brookhaven. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always the heavy stuff. Same reason I got one 9-10 years ago, just knowing it's there and ready is worth the peace of mind. Like @SaveByRichter35 said it is fun once you're rolling and blowing that shit into next week. Did use to enjoy doing the neighbors and helping others when we were in a neighborhood where the houses were spread apart with huge oversized driveways. Even down since we moved it's sitting here, start it every winter and would never get rid of it. If I never use it again that's fine even if the driveway is 1/4 of the size and the odds of any major now is pretty slim.

I know the quotes were between 3 and 7k and he picked the middle. Not sure if he does south Jersey though. Our driveways aren't that long. Basically 2 car lengths.

That's why we're widening, we can only fit 2 cars and you're not allowed to park overnight in the street so it's annoying when people stay over.

josh Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Might need a fact check by @Parsley but it says Syracuse averages 127inches of snow per year. Shit. I always shoveled. Probably a 6 car driveway. here it says we average around 80 inches. Have a snowblower I don't use. Pay someone to plow. I still have to do walkways and around the cars.. was out there for 30 minutes today and only cleaned out the front walk area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
