Your mother was a snowblower

and I'd like to pay for her services.

After getting a record breaking amount of snow so far this year, I've decided to just say fuck it and buy a damn snowblower. With my luck, it won't snow after that... but I'd gladly pay whatever it takes to not have to shovel anymore. Here's today's report from the NOAA:

(p.s. it hasn't stopped)
Who wants to bet that I'll have a hard time finding one?

2 stage snowblower definitely beats a shovel. or being snowplowed. no snow bankings.
