On a positive note, I did see my first loon of the season over here on the smaller lake

Talking ..... hey buddy, got time to plow this here driveway?

......hey buddy, any chance you can plow this out?

So, with a snowblower on the fritz, and an injured foot, am thinking my best plan is waving down some local pickup truck with a plow, and offering cash to plow out about 40' home driveway.

I have no clue what's a reasonable price, am thinking to offer $25-cash for a quick 5-minute plow out, or something. How much to pay so's I don't be over paying? ........ ...... God forbid I overpay! ..... ...... that I overpay the snow plow guy ...... so's what's the cash price that people pay around here in a situation like this?

FLL…set the moths free from your wallet and pony up at least $40 for an average driveway. When I used to plow driveways that was the minimum price.
I wouldn’t stop for less than that no matter how long it took.

FLL: Most plows want business where they don't have to drive much between customers. Best to ask a neighbor for a name and number. That will give you an idea of what he's paying. Add 50% plus tip as you're asking for special services and won't be a regular customer.

Put a sign on your mailbox !! Maybe some kid with a snowblower will see it and help you out?

I see on WMUR that Mother Nature will start removing snow next week. Be patient. She has a lot of backlog.

This snowblower did not work very good last storm, now it won't start, and it was on my list to get fixed over the summer.

Hey, winter done come back for an April encore ......... who knew ...... duh? .....

Some snowblowers just work a lot better than other snowblowers especially when it's with slush as opposed to snow. You know they don't call them slush-throwers
