Good luck with your maiden voyage with the snow blower. Once you use it you will never use a snow shovel again.
I got a Troy Built in 2011 and it's the best money spent. It is a big toy... I usually will clean a couple of the neighbors driveway because it cleans so quickly.
The Troy Built came with a tool called Chute Clean-out Tool to use when things get clogged. I have heard this snow will be a heavy/wet snow so you probably will get some clogging. Like everyone said.... NO hands or feet! Have fun!
One suggestion if we do get 12+.....inches you might want to do a mid day snow blow and then use it again after the snow stops.

I don't know what S&S Storm Chasing and Forecasting Team did to piss-off people so much?
I started looking at their Facebook page probably 4 or 5 months ago. I never bought anything from them and have not seen any major screw ups. They are based in Red Lion and I believe are all volunteers? I don't have a clue about the cat fight that started on their page? I am wondering is why someone would go to the page a start something because a forecast was wrong? Is that what happened?Why waste the time? Or is there more to it? They are not a government agency. If you don't like them unfriend them or what ever you do on Facebook and delete them from your favorites.
I don't know what this means but they have 155,624 likes

Southeastern PA just went to a Blizzard Watch. They also bumped the totals overnight from roughly 12-15 inches to 15-18. And the latest GFS model run has storm totals on around 24-26 inches.
Should be fun on Saturday!!!

Yep mine came with the clean out tool as well. I plan to spray the chute and augers with cooking spray, like Pam or something equivalent. That used to help a bit with keeping snow from sticking to my shovels. Is there anything better to use? WD-40 maybe?

I am not sure? Never sprayed anything on it. Good idea I might try it.
WD-40 or maybe a silicone spray?

Cooking spray or another lubricant will not be necessary with light, powdery snow (which will be most of us).
Those near the snow/sleet line (maybe SE of Lancaster City) will have a heavier snow with a greater tendency to stick. So WD 40 would be a good idea there.

Love the video! I've used WD-40, a cooking spray & another silicone spray. Sometimes they work and sometimes not. If it's a very wet snow nothing seems to help.

Siimilar but some important differences, especially the high wind area and sleet changeover line.
