First Snow

We got our first significant snowfall of the season today. Concord received 6-8 inches dodging the brunt of the storm which left Boston with more than a foot in some places. It was my first opportunity to use our new electric snowblower. It handled the task well enough but my expectations were calibrated to the difference between an electric car and a gas-powered one. I imagined it might throw snow into tomorrow and alas it only threw it far enough. The cab I installed, as on my last snowblower, proved invaluable but I will need to refine the positioning when I get a chance. It took about 1.3kWh of energy to complete the driveway which was well less than the 2kWh of batteries I own. By way of comparison, my e-tron stores 83.6kWh. Imagine if someone made an electric snowblower attachment that connected to my car. I could plow the entire driveway in a few minutes.
