Default Driving In The Snow

Took the 11.5/28 Driveway Queen out for an early morning drive today. It's lowered on stock runners with .5 inch clearance. Sporting
Ariens grey powder coated wheels. Six inches of snow and freezing rain. What a great drive. When will it end?

Is that some kind of roto tiller or is it some kind of weird lawnmower? Whatever it is - it looks angry and hungry.......

BTW - 77 degrees and sunny here in Phoenix this afternoon. Probably have to put the A/C on in the car on the way home....

Good looking blower there. Bet it scoops up the snow in short order.

Too bad there's no hood on that, you could add a seal for some extra ponies!

I HATE SNOW!!! Snow blower or not, snow and shoveling snow sucks...which reminds me, I will be shoveling in about 15 minutes when I get home
I've only used the blower once this year...I only use it when there is a lot of snow.
