We lucked out with this storm. My area got about 6" to 7" of snow but that got topped with an inch or two of sleet. I ran my snowblower once late Sunday afternoon, then spent a few hours with the blower and shovels on Monday, after which I was beat.
Cleaning my driveway apron was the worst part, due to the depth and density of the packed ice and snow. It strained my snowblower's engine and I had to be careful to keep it from stalling.
The snowblower is 24" wide and about 16 to 18" tall.
The engine has been giving me issues requiring me to run it with the choke in the start position to keep it from stalling but I think something came unclogged and after running it awhile I was able to turn it to the running position. It would benefit from having the carb stripped and cleaned out.
Other than the quirks of running my snowblower we didn't have any storm-related problems. Power didn't even flicker, cell service remained up, and our Internet was fine.
Now the forecasters are saying we might have another storm this coming Sunday. Other than some grocery restocking we should be prepared if we get hit again.
