I read on the internet that people can receive a life sentence for using a leaf blower. Sorry BH, had to say it.

Actually they are illegal in some towns in many states. Do a google search and you will see a whole bunch of them. I couldn't find any in NH though.

In Cambridge, MA, you can only use it during certain times of the year during specific hours. It is banned on Sundays and holidays.

In Arlington, MA, you can't use them between May 15 and Oct 15.

Between May and Oct you can't blow? That does a lot of good. Do you want to use them in Dec? Blow snow maybe?

I note that both of chips examples here are in Ma. where they regulate everything to death... ... people really need to get a grip... and understand that sometime you just have to deal with a few minutes of irritation....
