REdlite: Funny you should mention your father telling you to push the snow far back... My father burned that into my mind (as well as 1,000 other mandatory tips to succeed in life) That you need to not only shovel the driveway, but half of the grass as well... Is it true that if you dont shovel your DECK the snow will destroy it by sitting on the wood? I get that phonecall EVERY storm. I'm 34 years old, he calls me like I'm still 10.
Don't get me started on the "did you change the oil in your truck?"
I know he's right, but damn! the delivery.......

Mike:
I have a 2 year old Troybilt electric start snowblower I will sell you. I was going to keep it as a backup as I bought a bigger Huskavana this past fall but it sounds like you are in a bind.
It runs a bit rough as it does need a carb cleaning but if you run it on half choke it's fine. I can deliver as I have ramps for my truck.
PM me if you are interested.

LOL, it only gets worse.  I can hear my Dads words whenever i'm
doing any job.  "Do it once and do it right." Painting- "unfinished
into finished" and on and on. All good advice.

I'll say this, I was 14 years old back in the winter of 1978 and these snow piles we have now are the closest of any winter I can remember since then, and I've been plowing for over 25 years.

At this stage of the game.. I consider this the "over due" bill for the tranquill summer we had.. it's what makes the law of averages go'round... but it don't mean In have to like it.

A good run is better than a bad stand!
