| np here. If I had a blower, I'd definitely clear the sidewalk around my cul-de-sac after I did my driveway. |

Depends. If there is a bitchy neighbor, you can always snow them in 
One or two nice neighbors might be able to borrow the machine, if they play their cards right. They are fun to operate! |

| I got extra gas to lend it but I am hoping I won't have to open it. |

Didn't use it, shoveled by hand.
Wish there was more snow and I could've used it! |

| Ours worked great, but we are in Loudoun and got 6 inches. |

| How much was it, OP? For years I've thought about getting one. By now it would have paid for itself (my back currently aches from shoveling). |

| No, snow blowers are too loud. We had 8 inches and none of my neighbors who have them even bothered to get them out. |

If you hate the smell of gas and oil, and the noise I recommend getting an electric ...good for up to 6-8 inches...just get a long extension cord that can reach to the end of the driveway. |

| I think we'll go for the generator first (we're all talk at this point). But unless we get a foot of snow, I usually enjoy shoveling (we have just a normal sized drive, walkway and sidewalk). |

That would be funny to run the electric snowblower from your generator when the power goes out during the next snow storm. |
