My 26" craftsman does a decent job, but not so good with 2' of snow or the heavy stuff. I got her out last sunday morning knowing i wasn't done. But it made monday morning a lot easier.

There is no keeping up with a storm like that. 7 feet if snow and 40 mph winds covered the driveway up as fast as you could clear it. Believe me, it was not possible. If you havent experienced it, it may seem crazy. It WAS/ is crazy when it happens!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 50 here in Georgia , should improve when we hit Fla. Love these 70 mph roads ,80 to 85 makes 500 mile days a snap , although a Fed Ex double rig did force me off the road, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never wait for a storm to be finished to start clearing the driveway . Expand Depends for me. During the week I stay on top of it, shoveled twice already, and may go out again in a few minutes. Weekends where the wife won't have to drive, I look at accumulation and make the call. I do have a snow blower, but for this light snow and the small area I have to deal with, shovel is faster. My back hates both, so I just get it done how ever the storm calls for.
