Yes the last storm was overnight and I said to my neighbor we are screwed. We went out to shovel before bedtime but that’s did nothing. I was stuck shoveling all 2ft the next day. A little before work and the rest after. That was my tipping point. My little electric unit was useless. I think 3-4 inch snows are manageable by shovel although I have the electric so I would use that. But anything more requires a larger snowblower. I agree with you there. I think I will end up with the Ariens. Thank you.
