We don't get nearly that much anymore. Maybe 100cm now days? Though the way they measure it officially and what is actually on the ground may be two different things. It probably does pack down over time even in untouched areas.
This thing will be more for when there's a few inches. Mostly is a toy really. But I do want to buy more Greenworks stuff so it's a way of getting an extra battery and charger. I'm eyeing the 18" chainsaw, might buy it from here to summer if I see it go on sale.
That's a great idea. First snow accumulation of the winter last week and I shoveled both walks. I bought into the whole Greenworks thing and have, I think 5 power tools - 18 volt maybe?Just made a total impulse purchase and bought an electric snow shovel.

Welcome to a Life. Powered. By Greenworks. Make clearing sidewalks and driveways easier this winter with the Greenworks 80V 12" Brushless Snow Shovel. Built with a high-efficiency 1.2kW brushless motor providing speeds up to 1800 RPM, this snow shovel is sure to impress. Quiet operation make it...greenworkstools.ca
Saw the snow shovel on sale and figured why not. Will be nice for when there is a small dusting of snow where it's not really worth using the snow blower and will make a quicker job of it. I've been eyeing the Greenworks platform for a while now. Will probably get the chainsaw and lawnmower at some point too. They don't have full size snow blowers yet but other companies do now, so I imagine they will at some point. My goal is to go electric for pretty much everything over time.

I've got one 4 stroke gas and one 40v cordless electric. They're way to big for the walkways since both, front and back, are interrupted by stairs. But a small, handheld electric is perfect for that job.I've used Snow Shovels before. They are junk. They do little work before clogging or dying. You actually have an easier time with non-powered tools. And it costs less.
OR, get a real snow blower that does some work.
All my stuff seems to be 40v and all the new stuff seems to be 80v.
This was the beginning of my desktop/tabletop fire pit,Maybe add some impurities to the alcohol for a yellow flame. Alcohol burns too clean and hot I think for a good visible flame.
edit:
Maybe a bit of salt?
I sprayed mine with lacquer to hold the shape.I shouldn't have the current problem of my foot catching on the damn strap once each revolution of the right peddle unless my foot is positioned just right.

Why not get a blade for your pickup 🛻?This just came in today! My driveway was kind of half done, mostly just moved snow around so I can get the truck out (I try my best to avoid packing it if I can) but overall still full of snow.
I was able to do the whole driveway with it, the depth varied a lot from a few inches to a foot in some spots because how how the snow drifted and fact that I had moved some around.
Works pretty good, it's just kind of awkward to use. You have to basically lean down to push it, otherwise it just gets caught and won't go anywhere. I feel they should have angled it better for that. What's nice though is if you have a bit of a hill you can also drop it on top and it will dig through and shoot the snow away. So even if I were to shovel the driveway because it's only a few cm, I can then come back with this to shoot the snow in the yard.
My main complaint is the battery is very hard to remove, there is no way to grip it. So in the middle of a job with mitts and full gear you can't really just do a quick swap and be back on your way. Need to try to lift it upside down then maneuver it and fight it so the battery can slide out. I may try to add tape or something so I can have a bit of a lip to pull on.

They’re handy for moving left lane drivers into the ditch where they belong.$$$$
I looked into it but they are super expensive even used. I may at some point though as I could use it to plow the road going to my off grid property too. I don't have anything there yet but once I do, I will want to be able to plow the road and spend even winter days there. I have not been out there yet so not sure if it gets plowed or not but even if it does, don't want to count on it.
Of course I could probably look at making some money on the side plowing driveways too... so it's not out of the question to eventually get one.
I got the mineral wool. It doesn't feel crunchy. Sort of weird.So I mentioned earlier that I'd tried using a wire screen to keep the cotton from burning. Unsatisfying results. So, I was randomly looking at other similar things on Amazon and I noticed that most use fiberglass. Thing is, it's not always just glass fibers. If want something absolutely non-combustible, you have to go with mineral wool. Oddly, it's regularly sold to enhance "embers" in an lp or nat gas powered fireplace. So I'm going to sub this for the cotton and see how it goes. Hopefully that stuff isn't too ethanol-phobic. Although once they're all mixed together, I don't think it should matter much. We'll see.
These are very strange candles. Aside from the absence of any sort of lid (will need to highlight that when I get around to reviewing them), the wax is sort of oily. I'm sure that's from whatever substance provides the fragrance and you don't really notice it at room temps. But I had to melt some of the wax to get at the wicks and got some on my fingers. It remained fairly viscous even once cooled. I then proceeded to get the needle nose pliers out and gently tugged on the wicks. Apparently there was some slack, so that's good.It looks like Archipelago has some new candles. New to me anyway. And some very interesting scents. The Arugula one came today and seems very nice. I need to let it warm up a bit lest I crack the glass. No cap though, or at the very least, mine was missing.
Also, they all seem to use a double wick and for the one I just got, both wicks are semi-submerged in the wax. So we'll have to see how that goes. Here's the Amazon link for all 4 varieties. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B008J729MI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Some unsolicited and possibly inapposite advice but I ran my HTPC rig like that for a while - just 2 DRAM bars and it eventually killed one of them. It did take a couple years and there are any number of possible causes. Let's just say I've never had that problem with a full rack.32gb's (2x16) Corsair Dominator DDR4-3600 CL-14 RAM @ $188 with all coupons, promo-codes and free shipping. *(Samsung B-die dual-rank dimms)
Corsair Dominator 32gb DDR4-3600 (CL-14)
A bit on the pricy side but should provide a roughly 5% boost over the DDR4-3200 @ 3333 (OC) Corsair Vengeance CL-16 I'm running now.
Its not the "absolute fastest" DDR4 by any means but it is close to optimum for Ryzen 3 plus there shouldn't be any problems with it being fully compatible.
Mom had this set of really lovely, ruby red (Corning?) glass wear. I've only ever used the undersized dinner plates. But it also came with diminutive tea cups and normal size saucers. The saucers make a very nice candle snuffer. Just turn them upside down to snuff and right side up at other times so you don't smear soot everywhere. So far, no sign of soot though.But they really need lids. The arugula one could be smelled in the next room without even being lit. So for now I'm keeping the one I've opened in a ziploc and I've ordered disposable ziploc canisters for the others.
