    I got lucky yersterday. After my 3rd cleanup the accumulation pretty much stopped (around 3:00). But yes, I'm not looking forward to the roof and moving the snow twice as I don't like/want it all piled up against the house. It's going to be so compact/hard after falling, I'm not sure the snowblower will be able to move it. We'll see.

    My buddy about 5 miles from me lives by the ocean. Had about 3”. I had about 10. I’ll measure the
    “Official Tacoma Mike Generator Box Snow Fall Unit” when I go out..

    Straight down my driveway towards my truck, coming from across a large field on the other side of the road behind the camera.

    My current method is to split the driveway in half right across from the man door to my house. Then go up and down the front of the driveway with one first cut up the middle. Once that's done, move the truck to the front, and do the back half. The pain in the ass spot is right infront of the house because the driveway is very unlevel there, so pushing across it is a fight to get the blower pointed the right way. I've gotten it mostly down to a pattern at this point, but sometimes I try something new and really cause more headache.

    BOOM!

    Snow on the roof wasn't nearly as heavy/pasty as what was on the ground (warm ground temps) so my 179cc 24" Craftsman handled moving it with ease. Temps in 40's today and sun has already melted a fair amount.

    Pops rescued a pile of old-growth 4/4 walnut that someone was throwing away. Tf is wrong with people?

    And I even stained the toe kick the same color I'll be staining the cedar decking. I'm not attaching the deck to the house. Can I borrow the Kubota for the 4 footing holes?
