I just went out and blew my driveway, maybe 5” this round?

I did the neighbors drive too, he was trying to get his to start and apparently it wasn’t having it. They moved in a couple years ago and there is a language barrier, so I just blew it off and motioned with a few hand gestures to which way I should throw it. Their driveway sucks as they have the driveway that goes between houses to a rear garage, so you have no where to put the snow on the sides, so you need to blow it straight out and then double blow it to a side.

I have a Toro paddle type single stage that’s maybe ten years old now. First start of the season, filled it with gas, pulled out the choke, three pushes of the primer and one pull! Love these things, we called them snow pups at my job. The 2 stroke ones were extra great, light, lots of power and took a beating. The 4 stroke versions are slightly less useful, but like how they clear the snow all the way down to the driveway; single stage, so they don’t throw very far.
