A good tip from Titus & Philemon. Both Timmothy and I come in the house looking like the abominable snowman with ice hanging from our beards and mustaches.
The obvious solution of course is to aim the shoot of the snowblower the same direction as the wind. Easier said then done. In a blizzard there is a lot of swirling winds and also we like keeping a good relation with our neighbors.
The worst is when you have adjoining driveways and yours is the one on the North side. 🤨
Good morning, Bob... thankfully, this is not a problem I encounter... winds, blizzards, frozen facial hair! 😉

Good morning Nina Hollander, Broker my True Love. Glad to hear you don't encounter the problems Timmothy and I do. ☺️
This is not a problem I incur either, but not the occurrences that Nina mentions. For me it's that I don't have neighbors who would be impacted if I were to use a snowblower. We also haven't had blizzards, but have had winds and cold!

If my failing memory is correct we had two blizzards this year Kat Palmiotti . The last couple of days we have had unseasonably warm temps (a 90 degree temperature change in a week). With this warm up we have had some issues. Yesterday part of my office flooded so I spent all day on that instead of finishing my painting.
Bob "RealMan" Timm - we've had much warmer temperatures the last few days as well. Luckily it's been melting some of the ice and snow that was still on the driveway.
Good morning Bob,
A real visual of coming in after snow blowing looking like the abominable snowman with ice hanging from your beards and mustaches!!

Hopefully it will not be until next winter before I can take a picture for you Dorie Dillard Austin TX .
Your blog post makes me very thankful for this sunny day in Maryland. Most of our snow has melted.

We are becoming snowless very fast Roy Kelley as our temperatures went from 40 below last week to into the 50's today. Lots of melting, lots of water everywhere including a part of my office.
Good morning Bob. Having lived in a townhouse with adding driveways and the only one with a snowblower, I understand. Luckily our driveways were short and if the snowfall required the use of a snowblower I did both. Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin the one time I owned a property that shared a driveway it (the driveway) went North to South so we could throw the snow East and West so it was not a problem. It was also a rental property so I didn't take care of it anyhow (the renters did).
That doesn't sound like much fun at all, so I am glad that I have never had to use a snow blower and I hope that I will never have to do so, haha.

It is kinda fun as it makes you feel like a macho man Brian England and then when you get in the house (and take off your frozen glasses) it's fun to see yourself in the mirror.
This is why I go south during the winter, Bob. 😁

Good plan Carol Williams . I'd like to do that at least one summer before I die.
You probably mean winter, Bob "RealMan" Timm. Summers in Arizona are brutal. 🥵
You are correct Carol Williams , I probably could not handle a really hot summer anymore.
Hello Bob "RealMan" Timm - I think it might be fun to use a snow blower once just to have the experience. Just once. I love to see snow - it is beautiful. Living in it - not something I have ever experienced.

Great words of wisdom Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist . 😉
As Bob Seger said...I'm older now, but still running against the wind! That snow will be back with the same issues. Move to Florida...bahahaha

I'm waiting to see where my daughter and her husband settle down Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty . I'd like to be near them if they give me grandchildren. I'd love it to be FL but it's most likely going to be in Milwaukee.
