I purchased a brand new Ariens Deluxe snowblower two years ago thinking I’d enjoy a top quality piece of machinery. I’ve only used it once in two years. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Now I’m having regrets about getting something nice. Should have gotten some high quality shovels.

Anyone else snowless this winter sitting on new removal equipment, snowblower or plow? Ken

I bought a really nice Meyer snow plow for my Tundra but damn I hadn’t needed it yet. Should’ve listened to the wifey when she had a feeling it was a poor business decision for us.

I guarantee, Ken, you sell it and you will get hit with the storm of the century. Good to have, Not all winters are going to be like this one. I used mine a lot down on the cape. It went with the house I am happy to report.

Ken, I bought an Ariens 824 in 1987. Sometimes I only run it a few times all winter. Sometimes I run it a few times every week all winter. I plan on having it another 30 years, but I'm not disappointed when I don't get to run it often. Take care of it and it'll last you.

When I left Indiana I sold my plow truck and gave away all my snow shovels. I swore I will never shovel snow again . Here in Georgia if it does snow you just stay home and work on a boat or something the snow will be gone tomorrow or soon after.

I have three snowmobiles, two snowblowers, three sets of snow tires, skis, snowboard, snowshoes...

Been enjoying the winter so far. No snow to shovel at home with great skiing in ME and NH. Have only gotten in a couple days on the snowmobiles so far, but the lake has 12" of ice.
