Barring an April snowstorm (not unknown) I will have gotten by the winter of 2018/'19 without ever having to fire up the snow blower.

Mother Earth is half-way back from her 23.5 degree wobble and at 5:58 p.m. EDT will be directly over the equator and heading north.

I bought a new snowblower in the Fall with a 4 year extended warranty.

This means there will be no significant snowfall until the day after the warranty expires.

And mow I'm trying to figure out if I should change the oil again for next winter. I only ran the damn thing for a few minutes after the fall tune up.
