Ah, I didn't lose my mind after all. I *did* make a post about snow removal.
Thanks to all you good peeps who responded. I think I will look at the prices of blowers that would be good for my area. Then I'm going to balance that out against what I could hire a sevice/teenager for.
If I had a riding mower, I'd buy a blade, but I don't have one of those yet. Though my yard is big enough I'd like to have one.
Thanks again. I'm bookmarking this thread for reference.
