Sarg - I was thinking the same thing. So far all we have had is a dusting of snow. In fact a local newspaper article was commenting that in some yards the dandelions are popping up around here.
I am having a seriously hard time justifying the purchase of the 49 thrower for the 318 - which I am already in the perpetual doghouse for.
Then again - it has made for a good deere hunting season.

Why? So it doesn't snow much this winter, there's always next year, and the next and the next. It's not like snow blowers have expiration dates and have to be replaced even if they're not used. Plus, prices only go up, right? Next year they might cost you even more.

The Wife reminds me every chance she gets that my new x530 with 44" blower just sits in the shed all lonely. She thinks it's kind of funny because she doesn't really know how much $$ is just sitting there! I do! :banghead3

It's a nice upgrade from the wooden plow and rope lift system that I used last year. Now the problem is my wife says it won't snow until 2013! YIKES!!!!
The Army blanket isn't for warmth, it's a bit of protection from a 4 yr old and an almost 2 yr old who adores anything tractor (esp. the Green and Yellow!).
It will have to snow eventually, right? Right???

After over 40 hours clearing my driveway last winter I'll take every snow-free unseasonally warm day this season brings. Snow insurance is worth every penny. Starting my X500 every Saturday and letting it run for fifteen minutes is ok by me.

I get a lot of enjoyment out of my tractor but I could never justify it on a cost basis. A seasonal contract for my driveway would cost $400 per year. My X500 setup with blower came close to $7500 with extras. That's a horrible payback period. But it brings me enough joy that it doesn't matter. I tell others, "If you don't like working in your yard/driveway, get a contractor for snow removal.". Get a walk-behind if you want quick payback.

I can remember I was Home On Medical Leave in the early 90's when My Younger Brother was still in High school and the winter around Chicago area It Hadn't snowed Yet and I think it was Late January. As I was Heading To My Duty station It started snowing I want to say it was sometime in Feb So I Have seen winters Like this before in the Midwest But what was so Upsetting was My next duty station was in a Place that Didn't Get Snow and the winter Before I was In the Desert during winter so I didn't Get to use My JD 240 for snow removal for 3 or 4 years and I had Just Bought a Blower for it in Fall of 1989 Because I thought I was going Back to Northern NY (Had Orders But they were changed) In 90:thThumbsUHmmmmm...

I don't know if theres a lot to this, but I rented a house a few years back, probably 25 years ago, and this old guy had leukemia, and a bunch of his buddies also had it and he and a lot of his buddies went into Nagasaki after the bomb on a cleanup of sorts, and he said he wouldn't trust any older army blanket because of the chance it got dusted in the fallout, anyway I had two and trashed them, but I'm just relaying this not saying any of it is factual.Hmmmmm...
