My main concern is it looks kinda plasticy so I wonder how durable it really is in the cold. If the plastic gets all brittle and stuff that will be an issue.

But if it can deal with that wet nasty snow I think it will do decent here for normal snow falls. Just a backup anyway, once I get the gas one going that will still be my main one for heavy snowfalls, but the electric will be nice for smaller snowfalls.

Lol that doesn't have enough power for the wet stuff.

Only used mine a couple times tbh. We don't get much snow anymore and what we do get tends to come late, around this time of year.

I heard we're suppose to get warm weather and rain though so that sucks. That just makes a mess of everything.

in my area its been cold and dry. Tomorrow I pick up my snowblower from the shop. Doubt I will need it again for the next 10 months.

I just ordered a valve cover gasket set for my car. I've noticed oil sprayed inside the engine compartment a few weeks ago and had been monitoring it. It's manageable, but I need to take care of this ASAP.

Driver in front of me opened his door at a light to spit tobacco juice. The way he was holding the door, he ended up spitting on his sleeve. :)

Well this freaking sucks. HD just cancelled my order. FFS. It was on sale and was saving like $100 too. I can buy the plugin model for cheaper but really wanted the battery one.

HD does this every freaking year too with snow related equipment. At the peak of winter, they have no inventory.

Oh well I was starting to think I can use those gift cards for other stuff instead anyway like bringing solar to the house from the shed. Will probably cost around that in various hardware and wiring.
