may have to look at getting one of those shipped here , we have no local dealers !
OP
Finally went through the first tank of fuel in the snowblower. It snowed about 3" last night.
Of course I ran out of fuel right at the end of my driveway. But no big deal.

It petered out by the time it got to us. Just another inch on top of the two we have.
And go....

Storm watch has been upgraded to a storm warning. Wondering how much snow I'll get tomorrow & Monday? Super glad I put that new engine on my snowblower.
You guys are getting more snow than us! The Seattle airport has been a mess the last few days, I know a bunch of people that have been stuck down there
OP
It hasn't snowed here at my place that much compared to other years but the snow on the westside is very unusual. I've seen it snow and even snow heavy but it's normally gone within a week. It's not normal for it to stay as long as it has and the temps over there are lower than usual.
OP
Well it's snowing like crazy right now. It's been coming down for about an hour maybe a little longer and we've got a inch so far.
The most recent forecast for my area was 4-8" possible between tonight and tomorrow night.

Got the belts for the snowblower also. Wish they would have arrived a few days ago.
OP
Here is Nashville last night we picked up about 4” - after being in the 60’s day before yesterday.
Can I borrow your snow blower Rick?
Sure stop over and grab it. & wow that is crazy that is was that warm and you got snow now.

OP
Here is my trailer which shows a pretty good example of how much snow we've gotten.
I'll get a measurement later.

OP
The accumulated snow on the trailer so far this winter is just under 18". I've had more before but it's a pretty good snow pack at this point in the season.
Snoqualmie pass & White pass are both closed right now due to avalanche dangers so I'm pretty sure I won't be going over to the VA tomorrow. Will have to reschedule for at least a week from now so things have time to improve.

The saga of the POS snowblower continues. Was out clearing my driveway this morning and the shift linkage for the forward and reverse finally gave up the ghost. It had always been hard shifting but something got even more bent on it and I couldn't get it out of reverse. I took it apart hoping that there was some type of adjustment but there isn't. I "think" that the steel rod of the linkage is bent in such a way as to not allow it to shift correctly now. And OF COURSE this part is discontinued and I can't find it anyplace.
Seriously thinking about getting a new one right now. Hate to spend the monies on it since I hope to only be here for one more winter but I don't know what else to do. Other than bend the rod back to where I THINK it's supposed to be then put it all back together and see if it'll work. Then if not take it all back apart and try again until I get it right I guess. But then I've got to do something to keep it from bending again.

OP
if you were to move to ALABAMA it would solve all your snow blower problems !
Believe me my goal in the next couple of years is to not be here for winter anymore. But I need a snowblower until then and this old POS is irritating me.
I can't complain much about it as I got it by trading a old S10 Blazer that I'd bought for $200 for it. And it's been OK just never great. I borrowed my neighbors unit one day when mine was broken and it was night and day difference in how they worked. Mine takes a LOT of energy while the neighbors just seemed to glide thru stuff.
There was a TIME I loved the snow but I'm getting OLD and want to just visit it when I want instead of living in it.
