You guys with snowblowers, where are your shooting the snow? Guy down the street from me piled it all in the center of the road so a few vehicles have been stuck in front of his house lol.

thats retarded - i see people sometimes moving some snow onto the road from their driveway so that it melts faster when its warming up, but to get people stuck is a 311 situation

My cars are snowed in at the back of my house, fun times they aren’t getting out unless someone plows the alley

I’ve also run out of space back there to shovel snow so I dunno what to do

Melt it with piss.

On that note, I was watching a live camera (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGxFLjqhkSA) and saw some guys digging out a car parked right in the middle of the frame. They were throwing the snow right into the middle of the street. Jeep drove by and honked at them, so they threw a shovelful of snow right at the jeep and flipped him off.

Life pro tip, take the snow off your car BEFORE you start shoveling around it.

What are you guys doing about your alleys? I literally can't leave my house haha. I watched the recycling truck get stuck and so far nobody has been brave enough to drive down it that I have seen.

I can't remember if they city plows those at some point but I am guessing not.

I might end up having to go out there and manually shovel tracks all the way to the end of the block which I don't want to do haha.

I want one with some power though. Husqvarna or Stihl probably.

I had a Stihl br650.

I’ve since moved on to an Ego 600 cfm backpack blower. The lack of maintenance, the lack of stink is awesome. The environment is my last concern.

What are you guys doing about your alleys?

I just drove my vehicle up and down the alley a bunch of times to pack it down a bit and create a bit of a path with tire tracks to follow, but even then the lower vehicles are having a hell of a time.

I have a 20 year old stock Sierra Z71 and I was plowing in my back alley. The Tesla would have gotten stuck for sure.

Sounds like I'm getting the shovel out again later today God damnit.

The best truck

As for my throwing I throw as much from my sidewalks onto the street that I can, it doesn’t make a dent compared to what was already there. I obviously point onto Lawn if there is a car in the way.

Driveway I blow onto “lawn” (over my fence on one side and into a big fur bush on the other, my
Driveway is recessed below grade to the basement).

Walkway to house goes on lawn.

I did plow out a couple parking spots on either side of my driveway, which went onto the street. Sue me. I make up for it by counting the third person I have pushed/towed out today. Lent my buddy my truck and he apparently was able to pull someone out with it so I feel karmicly sound today.

[Masked Bandit]

Driveway snow mostly gets blown on to the lawn, all sidewalk+ ends up on the road.

[Brent.ff]

Just used the taco as the trail breaker through the neighbourhood after ~4 cars ended up on my sidewalk cause they couldnt make the turn and ruined all my shoveling.. Man i hate corner lots in winter... See how many bozos dont use my tracks to get around it now

Trackhawk isn't adequate for these conditions. A TRX is the solution now.

What tires you run in the winter?

I'll be that guy and ask the question....we're in lockdown, where the fuck are you people all going today? Beyond.ca isn't really the retail worker type demographic...maybe you're all healthcare workers?

[killramos]

I didn’t go anywhere. I extracted 3 separate people from snowbanks in front of my house.

Then I lent my truck to my buddy who is delivering food to all the aspenites who can’t cook.

I’m on vacation, fuck going places. Although I could use some more liquor.

I literally only went out to help get people unstuck, I got nowhere to be.

Beer in particular, I have enough scotch to get through the apocolypse fortunately.
