Now we would never be without one.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, both Will and I have shoveled hundreds of feet of driveway and paths on the homestead. But Will&#8217;s grandfather also dropped dead shoveling snow, as do many people every single snow storm. Not only is the snowblower easier on you but it blows the snow in any direction you wish and leaves the edges of the clean areas smooth with no big berm that gets bigger as winter progresses&#8230;and also causes snow drifts to form.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Snow-yard.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3679\" alt=\"Snow-yard\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Snow-yard.gif\" width=\"446\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We ended up with about two feet of new snow out of this storm and the temps are dropping to HIGHS of around zero all of this week.
