Not sure how the dude spun out. I blame it on All Season tires
I blame the dude for:
1) not knowing the limits of said (potential) all season tires
2) not driving according to the road conditions (plowed road doesn't mean its free of ice)
3) not putting on winter tires to help with inability to drive on all-season tires in said condition
It's not the fault of the inanimate object; it's the brainless object behind the wheel.

Ariens are bad ass. My dad has one. Went over to his place an hour ago to shovel his driveway. 20 minutes! Heated handles were kinda nice too.

I'm seriously starting to consider a snow blower now... But that $750 hit doe 
Spent 20 mins shovelling last night (accumulated all day), neighbour didn't help shovel at all... Another 10 mins this AM.
City of Markham sidewalk snow removal FTW!

You should be able to find a decent used blower that's a few years old for $350-$400.. A lot of the older blowers are better than anything you can buy these days.

Bought a Toro snowblower for $530 a few months back and used it for the first time yesterday. Completed both my driveway and the neighbour's in 15 mins. Worth every penny...

I've been holding off on a snowblower purchase for a few years because the value isn't there for me despite having the equivalent of a 6 car driveway to shovel, however the fact that you can be the neighbourhood hero and then have people "owe you one" seems to be totally worth it 
When we had that huge dump of snow last year, I started shoveling and wanted to die. Neighbour came by and offered me his snowblower, not gonna lie I was ready to go on my knees

I love my Arien Snotek -- finished my driveway, sidewalk and cleared the snow mountain at the foot of my neighbour's driveway (street plow aftermath) in 20-25 min.

My buddy makes a mint in the winter buying 'broken' snowblowers, fixing them up then reselling. Most of them that don't start need a $10 carb job, lol.
Vas, if you buy a good snowblower it should last you 20 years.. There's no reason not to have one, unless you actually like shoveling snow.
