Nice. I love the snow blower. I used to see similar ones all the time in Nebraska as a kid. Those things are loud and really throw the snow.

Joe,

They use those huge ones in the Sierras and over the grapevine when they have normal snow. They have a couple that is just one huge engine with one on each end and they are big enough to run a Volkswagen Beetle through. But they don't have to use those to often. They showed them using one of them on TV and they blew the snow so high and far that it was breaking trees when it came down. That is a much better file when you have it full screen on your computer and don't have all the compression.

I collect them and must have close to 100 with some great scenery from all over the world. Some don't have sound and some you have to click to advance each picture.

A "snow blower" is a gay Eskimo.

That's a Rotary plow.And is the only thing i would go anywhere near snow to see.I just talked to a retired rail who fired on Rotaries in Wyoming.He said they were a real ***** to run.
