No, shoveling more. We’ve had 3 storms this winter vs. none last 2 years. On the recent 10” storm my 25 yr. old snowblower tried to eat the newspaper under the snow, killed the blower. No snapped pins but a slack pull rope and auger won’t turn, thus I ended up shoveling the remaining 60 ft. of driveway and walks, etc.., I was really done after that. Snowblower is in the shop but I’m going to sell it and get a bigger model as this one never dealt well with slush and wet snow.
