>what do you do with a snow blower that a shovel can't do, far more quietly and efficiently?


Remove 3 feet of Lake Erie lake effect snow that the Cleveland Ohio area is so famous for w/o breaking your back. <g> I never would have wanted a snow blower in places that I have previously lived (and indeed, I never have owned one). After seeing what this region is capable of, when I wind up back in a house, I think I'll be purchasing one!
