It's great for 4-6", but WAY too small for what we dealt with earlier this year. Hi Buzz Lightyear!! I am considering buying a more powerful snowblower for my husband, and after last winter/early spring, and the almost 4' of snow in a week, I'm sure we really need something bigger than the one we have. So next time we get 22-plus inches of snow, I'll be ready.

but if I zip up further like shown in the photos below, the coyote fur collar really protects my face, and the fur gets coated in snow rather than my skin. Sometimes if the weather is a bit windy (like it was today) the "blow-back" of snow from the chute onto my face makes it very uncomfortable, stinging the face. They were designed to allow B-52 and B-47 bomber crews to survive if their bomber went down over the Arctic Circle in a place like Greenland, so I stay nice and toasty even in the most brutal winter weather. Air Force-issue arctic parka from 1962 on Ebay, which has a real coyote fur collar (and some accompanying Air Force issue N4-B gauntlet gloves from the same era), and they keep me very warm. For any fashionistas reading my blog, I bought a vintage N3-B U.S. My daughter also decided to come outside to play, but the day these pictures were taken was bitter cold, so I didn't let her stay out very long for fear that she might get frostbite of her fingers under her gloves. But still, it worked really well, and was a true pleasure to run. Admittedly, the amount of snow we got in these pictures was not very much, probably only about 5 or 6 inches. Also there are a couple of our daughter playing outside while I was snow-blowing. I've posted here some pictures my wife took of me running the snowblower a few weeks back (I actually just used it again today, and yesterday, on a lighter coat of snow). it's fun to see how far you can get it to blow the snow out of its chute. It's been a lot of fun to run it, and I really enjoy it. So, I've had it now for about 2 years, and I truly haven't regretted it. The newer-generation Honda tracked snowblowers such as the Honda HS724TA, which is pretty much analogous to mine, also have great quality, but be prepared to shell out $2469 MSRP for a brand new one (I bought mine for about 1/6 that price).
Parts are readily available for it too, and Honda keeps making and using the same or similar parts for its newer-generation tracked snowblowers. I think it has really saved me from slipping and falling on the ice on several occasions. This snowblower is pretty old, from about 1987 or 1988, but all accounts I've read say that they are truly built to last with outstanding engine and component quality. the tracks slow you down going down, and help to pull you upwards going up the hill. The tracks can easily handle my steep and slippery hill of a driveway, and I really enjoy using it. The snow blower I found is a Honda HS-55, and the two things I like the best about it are its raw snow blowing power and its use of tracks (like an army tank) rather than wheels, which work really well on my steep asphalt driveway, which can often get icy, slippery, and treacherous.
