I recently paid $100 for an analog watch, that a friend had bought and then didn't want. The most I ever paid for a time piece.

Snow blowing is very slow and is rarely the first line of removal. It’s usually done after the storm passes and is clean up for places the plows can’t clear the road completely. Same with wing plowing to move over-storage back so there will be room to put snow the the next snowfall.

It couldn’t have handled the engine but I bet it would have torn it loose from the mounts after chucking the front body work out the chutes.
