By popular demand, here's a compilation of the photos and video of Tom moving snow.
Prior to using this snowthrower (a 30" Poulan Pro), Tom had been snowshoeing to the barn to avoid disturbing the insulating layer of snow over his water line. Here he uses the snowthrower to go around the back of the house, and create a walking path to the barn.
Tom pauses for a quick break. The snow is just as deep as the auger housing is high.
The path is nearly complete. This was snow that hadn't been touched until this point.
He nears the barn. After this run, he went back and doubled the width of the path.
I walked up the path behind Tom to take this short video.
