How to Prepare Your Snowblower for The Winter

But you should still protect your investment! Here are some tips for extending the life and enjoyment of that silly, useless contraption.

Prevent snow from falling in the first place! Throughout the year, you should start and run your snowblower for a half hour at least once a week. This will ensure you’re doing your part to contribute to greenhouse gases.

If you’re a green thumb, consider converting your machine into a dirtblower for your new winter garden. Current projections by the EPA suggest that Minnesota gardeners will be able to grow oranges by 2010!

If you have lots of other vehicles that are already providing plenty of particulate exhaust, go ahead and change the oil, drain the gas, and carefully replace at the back of your garage. It’s a great place to hang those dangerous oily rags, and provides shelter for small birds and mice.

Advertise in colder-climate classifieds. You could buy an ATV! (Hint: Avoid snowmobiles.)

Your snowblower has a powerful engine that can readily be used as a woodchipper. Why not get rid of all those dusty old skis?
