I discovered this simple trick out of sheer desperation. It had snowed last night and we had 2 inches of fresh powdery snow… My snow blower refused to start. I am not superstitious, but I am totally convinced that my Snow Blower is haunted! LOL. My snow blower actually knows when it snows, and will not start under any circumstances. It works just fine in the fall! I actually tried to re-deploy my snow blower to collect leaves; it also failed miserably at that task. My snow blower is indeed haunted! LOL.
I decided to try something that I have thought of doing
before; use a leaf Blower to clear snow. OK… Using a Leaf Blower to blow Snow…
Hummm! I did ultimately manage to clean my driveway and walkway using the leaf
blower; it worked amazingly will!
The trick to successful use of a leaf blower is to start
using the Leaf Blower as soon as possible, before the snow gets slushy. I even
had success clearing a six inch snow drift, of very dry snow, with my Leaf
Blower. When dealing with high snow, locate the Leaf Blower plastic nozzle, at
ground level, underneath the snow. The Leaf Blower acts like a pneumatic air
compressor and lifts the snow straight up, in the form of a snow blanket. The
snow acts like a pneumatic piston; once off the ground, the snow breaks up.
The leaf blower did do a reasonable job on my Walkway.
Ear, Eye and GFI protection
should also be used.
