LOL! I have more than a little experience with one of those machines. I had to get one in Alaska because I'll be damned if I'm going to shovel the kind of snow they get up there.

My technique is a little more efficient than that shown in the video, however. I always tried to minimize going over the same ground twice. Oral, if that's him, passed over several places at least twice.

Now my technique is even better. I let my neighbor keep my snowblower and he does both driveways. Last winter I reached perfection by being two thousand miles away when we got so much snow that the local Rosauer's collapsed, along with every Costco plastic tent shelter and Sears metal tool shed within fifty miles.

When I got back we had two feet of snow on the ground, but none in my driveway.

No if it was Oral and I was going to keep blowing to the left I would have started on the opposite side of the driveway so I didn't have to blow the left side twice. It's enough work without blowing snow onto something you've already cleared so you have to blow it a second time:)
