I have a leaf blower and snow blower. If I need to bring my snow blower to NC I've picked the wrong place to relocate to! I'll consider the snowblower a gift for the people that buy my house in MA

We're leaving our snowblower in NH for the buyers as well! They'll need it!

We blinked last winter here in NC and missed the 1/2" of snow that fell, then immediately melted.

(Although, our kids moved from MI to VA couple years ago and brought their snowblower - they were glad they had it, but neighbors were wide-eyed (and envious) when they were able to blow some 7-8"" of snow off the driveway in a matter of minutes. He could have rented it out that day and made a bundle! but, he won't need it again for years, I'm sure.

Attached is a photo I managed to snap before the big snow melted last winter:

I barely use a shovel - don't know what you would do with a snow blower.

When I lived there I used my winter coat 2 times in the same winter out of 4 winters. One of the times was to wear to go home to NJ.
Light coat, no snow blower, no snowmen for the kiddies.

You can move the snow blower and put it in the front yard of a trailer as a lawn ornament and decorate it with ceramic squirrels and butterflies. Then, at Christmas, you can string strands of blinking lights on it and top it with a Moravian star and a light-up heralding angel.

Sorry...I couldn't resist. I have had a long day and I'm punchy. No offense to anyone intended.
:-)
