Just starting to snow here in Davis Co, and yes, you are going to need your snowblower before this is over. When our sons still lived at home we could go out and scoop out the drive, once they left, I did it once, after one large store, I phoned my wife and told her, "Look, I am getting too old, late 50's at the time, to be scooping the drive out by myself, so we either get a snowblower or plan on paying for my heart attack." She responded, "I guess you should get yourself a snowblower then." One of the better purchases we have ever made, this will be the 4 seasons, started right up a couple of weeks ago, and its actually kind of fun.
