SNOW

I am reminded of what Mike from the Drew and Mike show used to say. Take the lower number in the forecast and divided in half. Right more often than not.

I do that for snow, but when it comes to rain & wind I double sometimes triple the forecast.
 
Probably 5-6" down in the Pointes. Went out for breakfast at 10 am and it snowed two inches before we got back at noon. It was pretty heavy all morning here.

I am annoyed. I started my snowblower in October/November when I moved houses. No problem. Went to start it after the snow last week and it's totally locked up.

I pulled the cord assembly and that works fine. Thought maybe it was hydro-locked (gas/oil?) and I yanked the spark plug and pulled the cord... still locked up.

Spend the repair money on having a neighborhood kid shovel it this Winter?

Is that even still done these days? I did that and made good money back in
the day.

Physically disconnect the auger from the motor & try pulling the cord with the plugs out.
 
I’m kind of with you on that Mike. Well, mine isn’t locked up but I did an oil change first week of November, put fresh gas in etc. It started on the 5th pull after sitting all summer. The other day I tried to start it and it wouldn’t. Drained the tank (has a fuel shut off, never sits with gas in the float bowl), and cleaned the carb. No start. Replace the plug, no start. I swear these things are irritating to own.

I don't think it is anymore. I've never had kids to my door asking if they could do the snow, and there's a lot of kids in the neighborhood. In other news, I swapped out the paddles and scraper and changed the oil on my snowblower this afternoon. Fired right up. Bring on the snow lol
