The main reason I brought a snowblower this week is for the fun of watching snow. I actually enjoy shoveling but it takes a toll on my skeletal muscular system. So in my mid 70s I cave. Bought a cordless rechargeable using the same battery as my chain saw and soon to be purchased lawn mower. It’s limited to 13 inch depth but in storms of 10+ I prefer shoveling or snow blowing in pieces. No way would I shovel >8 all at once.
