#snowblowers — Public Fediverse posts

Got our afternoon walk in around the neighbourhood and noticed a few snowblowers running. So this is your PSA. Remember spinning mechanical blades do not care if it's snow or hands or fingers. Do not ever try to unjam a snowblower with bare hands or gloves even.

I was talking to my supervisor about the quietness of the snow day -- blissfully without #Snowblowers! I commented on how the same people were the ones with #Lawnmowers and #Leafblowers. My supervisor replied, "But everyone has those. At least where I live."
I replied, "We don't! We have a snow pusher and a couple of shovels, we leave the leaves alone, and when we do mow, it's either using a grass whip or a push-mower. No noise, lots of exercise!"

And yes, I hope to get our yard to the point where the grass whip is all we might need occasionally. I want to redo most of our *lawn* with native grasses and wildflowers.

Careful with the #snowblowers, people!
A Council Bluffs man amputated two fingertips in a snowblower accident, per the #CouncilBluffs Scanner from another site.
Ouch.
