Well after two winters without a need for the blade, this winter we've had a couple 7+ inches and have used the blade again.
Pic after the first one this year..
Since then (brother asked for a video) got hold of a GoPro cam and am in the "process" of learning how to run the GoPro, and drive at the same time. Fastened the GoPro to the top of my helmet but took the entire video with the camera pointing down too much and lost a lot of the effect of what was happening. So a redo is in order. Also, in the middle of a video of how easy it is to hook it up, and take it down.
Appreciate the nice comments, but this was one of those rare projects that just seemed to fall in place..
