Snow blower Take 2

After our snow blower died last weekend it snowed another 6 inches on Wednesday night while Austin was out of town for work.  I had to bundle up the kids Thursday morning and shovel off the driveway just enough in order to get the van out to get Emily to preschool.  Thankfully, it was light, fluffy stuff and not too bad outside, so the kids did okay.  Still, it wasn't ideal.  So with a little encouragement, Austin got another snow blower this weekend.  He got a good deal on a John Deere model that someone was getting ready to trade in at the dealership in town.  This one has electric start and even comes with a hood!  In addition, Austin bought a pair of coveralls and a real pair of snow boots.  Now he's ready to take on winter!  Fortunately or unfortunately, Austin got a chance to try everything out since it snowed another 4" today.  We were kind of hoping that getting not one, but two snow blowers would be a sure bet that it wouldn't snow the rest of the winter.  :op
