Motoo, do you have a driveway to clear? I'm a total snowblower convert (I've got a long, wide driveway), but of course, this is central Massachusetts and shoveling all the snow here is simply not an option.

Ah, that's a relief, Motoo! I would imagine thta the S's front bumper really doesn't make a great snowplow.

Billy, yeah that makes total sense. I'm sure the CA highway guys use something like that, too. Nothing like trying to clear a road that has 20+' high snow banks on either side. I'd love to see one of these in action. A 200' snow plume must be quite a sight to behold!

In Houghton, they had something similar. It was a much more basic unit, similar to a riding snowblower, only one engine. Top speed while blowing snow was probably 5-6 MPH (I could keep up on foot) but it threw the snow a good 40' into the air and off the road. I have some pictures but they're all film. I would imagine that'd be more typical of what a municipality would have.
