My sarcasm wasn't clear enough I guess.
Trust me, when you live on a hill that we do, even the 2" we got overnight is a chore.

I have no pictures to share, only serious amounts of frustration! We got about 6" of heavy, wet slushy snow Christmas Eve into Christmas Day. I was almost excited to finally try out my 6' blower. That lasted about 10 seconds.
Fired up the machine, let it warm up a few minutes. Drive over to the area of my driveway that needed to be cleared, drop the blower, engage PTO, reverse low gear and off I go.
The snow just piled up in front of the blower. Nothing even made it into the auger. It was literally like using a snow plow. When it did pick up snow, it quickly plugged up the chute. As my frustration began to intensify, one of my tire chains slipped off. How frustrating!
I've had these chains on for a year with no issues, now in the midst of my frustration the right side comes off. Great.
I just gave up, I had to be somewhere an our away in just 40 minutes. My brother plowed me out with his truck.

Must not be Germantown, WI.. as it has been too cold for slushy snow. Maybe out East somewhere?
