    I don’t mind the electric ones, but I had a neighbour that would fire up a two-stroke backpack monster at 6 AM any morning there was the barest skiff of snow. And he’d try for hours blowing heavier snow that he could have had shovelled in 15 minutes. He was generally just an asshole neighbour all around.

      we had a thread a while ago, and some dude was in there insisting that blowers can be “used for snow” because apparently snow blowers don’t fucking exist.

      People are fucking weird dude.

        I’ve used one for a very light coating or powdery snow, but more than a couple inches of that it’s just easier and faster with a shovel

          IMO if it’s that little snow, i’m just fucking leaving it.

          It’s not gonna kill me, unless it’s sitting on a solar array or something.

            I live in a place where if someone slips on your sidewalk they can sue, so I’m a little more cautious about it.

            Assuming we get snow ever again…
