A snowblower for 1/4 inch of snow!?!?!?!?
Our neighbor was out early waking the whole block up removing 1/4 inch of powdery snow. He could have shoveled it in half the time and with far less noise.

the snowblower came in handy!

9. That was my thought. Leafblower. And the lazy, wasteful american.
Use gas, cause air pollution, etc.

3. My neighbor did, too!
I'm here in Maryland, and I'm not sure how much snow we received, but it certainly was not blower-worthy! I would think a Michigander would have more sense.

4. I could excuse an older person
But this asshole is in his 30s. I don't think he's a native Michigander.

7. My first thought, too!
Then again, when was the last time you saw anyone using a broom outside of their home? It's just gotta be motorized! :eyes:
