+1 - I don’t think this would work on the wet, angry snow we get in Minnesota in the winter.
You can use a leaf blower on powder too.
Please god no. We have to endure leaf blowers in the autumn for people too lazy to rake - don’t also use these infernal machines in the winter.
Works faster than a shovel. Less noise.
Are you saying a leaf blower makes less noise than a snow shovel? In what reality?
In mine?
Maybe your thinking of a gas powered leaf blower?
I am not.
I tried that once, it didn't actually work. You had to put the nozzle directly into the snow to make it move, snow is just too heavy and sticky.
It definitely wouldn't work at all with remotely wet snow, but a guy at work claims it works great with dry powder. Based on how easy that blows around in the wind I didn't doubt it.
I suppose I should not have said “too” but I was specifically talking about powder.
