I have a driveway full of it you can have.

Do you have a snow blower? Every once in a while I am tempted to get one, but I don’t care for the idea of storing it for the 360-ish days a year I would not use it.

Yep. Snowblower has its own little cubby in the garage. Gets a lot of stuff piled on it over the course of the 9 months, but I do dig it out a couple times in summer just to run it. Makes the neighbors laugh.
Sounds just like my snowblower situation. All kinds of stuff gets stacked on it, but I run it a couple of times during the summer to keep the carburetor from gumming up I always feel like an idiot with it running on the driveway when it’s 90-some degrees outside.
With my gas powered lawn tools, I’ll always winterize them (drain gas and fog engine) at the end of the season so I don’t have to worry about them sitting and not running over the winter. Is there a reason you keep gas in your snow blowers all year round instead of winterizing them? I like gas power for my lawn tools since they get used so frequently, but I was looking at electric for a snow blower since it would get used so infrequently.
I fog my boat for the winter…hmmmm, no idea. Cuz that’s how my dad kept the yard tools?
I do put stabilizer in the yard tool gas. Similar to fogging.
Corded electric or battery electric?
I had a corded walkway clearer. Kinda like a dumb snowthrower. And a corded leaf blower. Hated both. Not only are you getting that cord underfoot, sometimes I do outdoor work in the rain and that’s not…uh…healthy.

I empty the fuel from my chainsaw and leafblower and fog both (the lawnmower is electric). The snowblower is a different story. It’s big, heavy, cumbersome, and a pain in the butt to drain.
Every time I think about it, all summer, I say to myself that it can wait for another day. The summer days go by and turn into fall, and now it’s December. I have no idea whether the dang thing will start the day after tomorrow, when a big storm is supposed to hit. I should head to the garage to see if I can get it going, but it can wait until tomorrow.

If I were to get an electric snowblower, t would be battery. Definitely don’t want to be towing an extension cord. This early snow we got last week was a wet, heavy snow and got me thinking about it. In reality, I doubt I’ll get one. We just don’t get enough snow to justify having one sitting around.
