I have a better solution. Get a snowblower.

I have a pretty good snow blower but it didn’t work for this type of snow. It was too “wet” and got clogged up. It happened to many neighbors in Maryland too. Good suggestion if it is fine light snow, but not the enormous snow storm that we just had.

New Suggestion.

Bigger snow blower. More HP.

We get that sort of snow from time to time too. Spray some non-stick cooking spray inside the guts of the 'blower, including on the auger. Doesn't necessarily cure the problem, but it does help.

Also, if you regulate the "load" of snow, it doesn't pack and stick. If taking a full width swath, then speed regulates the load, and if you take half a bite instead of a more full one, the snow won't pack as easily.

‘Wet’ snow? Out West we got ‘dry’ snow with icy topping and having flooding.

Doesn’t bode well for the folks in such areas (skipping the obvious controversy over how houses got built in flood-prone areas).

My money: Bet they say the impending flooding was ‘unexpected’. Or, as the weather/climate folks said 4 days ago about our weather forecast, “Melt-off will have ‘little impact’...”...

Waiting for the ‘How to fill a sandbag without a hernia’ video...

Spray Pam or silicone in the discharge chute.
