and went even dumber by engaging the PTO with the blower packed with snow, sheared the PTO protection bolt. Good thing I had a spare :) I'll go buy a few at HomeDepot tomorrow.

Also remember to run the blower to clear it after you're done, ready to put away till next time.

Or try to snow-blow a bolt on tooth bar I forgot was laying by my shop. That broke more than a shear pin and was costly...

Ouch, I would assume yes. You never know what can be hiding behind that snow, or you knew but forget it and it comes back with a costly reminder.

I don't know about that - seems that as the years go by, I read more and more about snow and ice storms in Texas. In another 100 years, Canada will be warm and mild and Texas will be a frozen tundra......

I don’t have a blower, but presume that’s one of those things you don’t do twice.
