I hear ya Sam.
I come home from Chicago where it was snow galore.... I hear late afternoon yesterday that we are supposed to get snow. I was like "Pppppppbbbbbtttt... whatever! We haven't gotten any that was forecasted. We aren't going to get any now!!" Well...... I was wrong. 6" on the ground now and still falling. I have NOTHING truly ready for removal here in town. At home the 1050 is sitting with the blade on in wait. But not in town. Gonna go throw a carb kit in the Lo-Boy and maybe put a new coil on. It started giving me fits just before I left so I ordered the parts. Fun fun.
