    How do you folks find these things? Surely you don't go to youtube and search for extreme snow blowing?

    I guess you could call it "networking". Have quite a few friends that send me stuff/sites. Get it off of other fishing message boards also.

    And BTW, the above UTube was made on the parking lot of the company that built that thing. I assume they were putting it through a few quality checks to make sure it was ready to go to work after it had been built.

    Be a good way to shovel the snow into your neighbor's yard. TWO BLOCKS AWAY!
    That is one awesome machine!

    This is one of the small ones in Colorado. They have some that have 2 augers, one on top of the other that the railroads use to clear the tracks through the mountains west of here. The first one in this thread could not handle the snow on Trail Ridge Road in the spring.

    This is the highest paved highway in the States.

    Kevin,

    I suspect the snow won't be as deep this year up there. Beautiful country.

    It already is in places. We are way over and still have the heavy months of March and April to come. January and February are not big snow months. The western slope gets it's share during those months, but the eastern side of the Divide stays pretty dry.

    If it was steady all winter long, I would be bonkers from shoveling already.

    Gawd, I'd love to have one of those to use right now!

    The neighbor that live on one side of me hires people to remove the snow from his driveway and sidewalk and they are forever blowing his snow on my driveway. A couple weeks ago they even piled his snow 5 feet high on top of my hedge that separates our 2 driveways right after I asked them twice not to put snow from his driveway on my property.

    This morning I just bought a new Honda snowblower (see picture below) but I'd really love to have a truck like that one to blow all the snow in the entire neighborhood on my "favorite" neighbors front doorstep. (the devil made me do it!)

    Nope. Moved the heck away from snow!
    When I lived in Wyoming they used snow throwers simular on spots where the roads would blow shut (in the cuts).
    That is, when the darn things weren't broke down.
    You ought to see what happens when one of those finds a buried car.
    Wrecks both.
    Better yet is when a big snow plow catches a hole and flips. Truck, cinders, plow and all. Nasty!

    Nope, ain't been cold since I moved back West.
    And I sure don't miss that white stuff.
