I need to know I am not the only one!
I went out today to snow blow some small piles and minor mounds of snow that were left in the driveway, which was not the problem.
Long story short, while moving around, I came an atom's-width too close to the blue plastic tarp, which had covered the blower and had been tossed off to the side. In less time than it takes to blink, the whole tarp disappeared into the machine.
When I examined the situation, the textured plastic was totally and quite tightly wrapped around the auger blades and the impeller, It was so tight, it was like it was painted on.
I started with kitchen scissors which did little. Then I tried metal snips - again to no avail. After a break, I grabbed a utility knife/box cutter with a sliding blade. Managing not to slice any bodily parts, I finally got it all off. Tomorrow, I'll see if the snow blower still works.
You've all done something like that... haven't you?
Please tell me you have.
