Well technically it was "what did I do with my Cub yesterday" but I hope that won't ruffle too many feathers, har har. Woke up to see 5 - 6 inches of heavy wet snow, think perfect snow ball material. Fortunately, I had brought the 1862 up from the shed and parked it in the garage the night before so it was just a simple matter of opening the garage door and getting busy throwing some snow. After I finished with my driveway, I noticed that several neighbors hadn't been out to do their drives so I made the rounds on the cul du sac. Then I headed down the road to a good friend who had hurt his back and cleaned his drive, and then went to the friends house who drives my daughter to school, and then I went ......
All told I cleared 10 drives in about 90 minutes. Of course, mother nature had to throw her two cents into the equation and dumped a steady rain on me after the first 3 driveways (found out the Carhart jacket isn't waterproof AT ALL) so I weighed a good 20 lbs heavier when I got back inside.
I'm really amazed at how much snow my 20+ year old tractor/blower can move. It clearly likes to throw the snow further to the right than the left but I plan on putting some rubber tips on the impeller blades to see if that will help. Overall it was a good day in the saddle.
