Sledders and skiers will be pleased. Although these big dumps are tough on the wildlife

I never complain about our hot days as i know others have more things to worry about with the weather, i have never experianced snow in my life and seeing what you guys go through,, i am glad in a way, as we get to ride our bikes all year round, being laid up for winter for months be like losing a leg, fu ck ìt be a while for me now.

Always kinda have a dose of snow envy when I see photographs of deep and persistant snowfall

Snow where I live is usually like icing sugar sprinkled onto a Victoria sponge and thats if we even have any at all !

" Stahmageddon " .......... I saw this and initially thought it was about the UK Prime Minister Lol ! .... ( definitely not a political comment )

Ha. How'd you get the snowblower up on the roof?
This style of snow shovel is a real back saver:

I've seen the flat top triple-decker buildings in the city where two guys carry a snowblower up there with two extension ladders side-by-side.

Concours, I can see the Snow King sticker on the motor, so I know it's a Tecumseh. I have a Troy built and a MTD with Tecumseh's and they have the same sticker on the motor. Couple questions.. How wide is the cut? Who's the manufacturer? And what are those 2 handles on the front? Never seen them before. My MTD has an 8hp motor, just like Al's Seeley, and that's plenty enough for around here. I'm glad it doesn't have front drum brakes!

It's a 23yo Simplicity.
11hp Tecumseh
32" cut
Those flatbars on the front are called "drift cutters"
Has a "torque shift pulley" on the engine, changes ratio under heavy load.
Sturdy formed channel handlebars
But, most importantly the HANDLEBAR HEIGHT was made for a FULL GROWN MAN.
All the others were small ergonomics that my back said: "NFW will I walk behind it crouching"

Fast & powerful.

Simplicity was a holdout to the MTD (and cheesy quality) scoop up.
Turns out Briggs & Stratton has since bought them, and implemented the expected cost (quality) reduction.

Several years ago, I saw on eBay, a guy in CO took an early 80's shoebox K25 Chev, mounted a big snowblower on the front driven by a 454 Chev mounted in the bed of the truck. It was used for an estate with a long, steep access road.
I searched today, couldn't find a picture.
