Tired of shoveling snow????????
An eight-cylinder snowblower takes on winter in Canada


When Kai Grundt announced his decision to build the ultimate snowblower from a discarded V8 engine, a friend of his just laughed. So a year later, instead of showing his buddy the finished product, Grundt showed him what it could do. He buried the man's truck under a seven-foot-tall pyramid of snow. From two houses away.

1. As Long as It Generates Enough Heat to Get the Temperature UP TO FREEZING
because I'm tired of being below zero down here.

4. Not here
We have had snow on the ground since before Christmas.

Since the first of the year, there has only been 2 days without snow fall and temps have not been above 32 but one day.

7. Word. We hit over 100 inches awhile ago.
Golden Snowball

And that is just measuring from the airport which gets less snow than North of the Thruway where I live. Oswego County has gotten lots more snow than that. The Golden Snowball Award has a population minimum.

I'd be long gone from the area.

10. Wow!
We have a supposedly heavy-duty snowblower, but it had a bit of trouble with one particular large dumping of heavy wet snow this year. It's been awful. And freezing cold. I hate walking my daughter to the bus stop on days like today. It was 0 degrees F then. It's climbed up to 1 at this point.
