For those approaching their first winter

Re: For those approaching their first winter
It's currently 19c in St Johns with a forecast high of 21c and humidex of 27! I'll have to go dig out my shorts I think.
Mindful that irrespective of the current balmy conditions, winter is of course, coming, some snow clearing tips from the Far East...
Don't try to blow snow upwind. It doesn't work and you'll get a face full. I still do this after 12 winters.
The point to start clearing snow is before it turns to rain (rain to snow events are common here) otherwise it turns to wet cement and lord help you if it actually freezes. At that point you need dynamite not a snow blower.
Plan your snow clearing strategy carefully so that you've room to put multiple snowfalls worth of snow.
A quad and a plow is more efficient for snowfalls say upto 5-8cm after that a snow blower is better.
Florida looks really appealing around February 20th.....
