The snow clearing pics are from home in northern NY and hell no for the mask. Blowing snow in your face when it is near zero F is no picnic. Rather be a warm Fred than a frozen...add term lol.
Also the mask was free...thanks work hehehe...much cheaper than spending close to $100 for a big bulky "shroud" that attaches to the blower so I can be comfy cozy while blowing the snow.
