Many years ago a guy down the street was trying to operate a snow blower that was somehow missing the chute. All the snow was going straight up and most of it was coming down on the poor guy, who looked like he had been packed in snow. It made shoveling look good by comparison.
The Soviets used to mount a jet engine on a rail engine with the exhaust pointing forward and used it to blow the snow off the tracks. Worked especially well with light, fluffy snow.
First time I tried to use a snowblower, I forgot to turn the chute and had this chilling experience. After that I left it up to my long-suffering husband.
The moderator has struck again. Once again, my comment that had no bad language, no political references, no personal insults, and no religious comments is removed. I have repeatedly written the moderator who refuses to respond and ask him/her to tell me what rule I have been breaking that is causing my comments to be removed. I have gotten nothing but silence from the moderator.
What was the terrible comment, you may ask? The comment was asking how it was that Mike managed to get covered in snow and his snow blower doesn’t have a flake of snow on it? It seems like a reasonable observation to me, and it is certainly true, if you look above. Maybe the moderator has some unusual rules about commenting on snow.

He must have used that Australian starting fluid to get that thing running.

Using my very first snowblower, I learned the “into the wind” thing really quick!

So if one has a snow blower, one has to be careful which way run it if the wind is blowing? Don’t have one myself—still using a shovel.

There are other things you don’t do into the wind either, Michael. Hopefully you will figure them out instead of having to experience them first hand.
