The city is making us put in a sidewalk this year. Our house has been here since 1959, and now they decide it needs a front sidewalk. I think it’s time we finally get a snowblower.
A man by the name of Arthur Sicard who became frustrated by the difficulty of transporting milk from the farm to market developed the idea for the snowblower. The roots of the snowblower begin in the fields around his farm when he first saw a threshing machine. He realized that by utilizing the rotating blades used for threshing it was possible to build a similarly rotating blade, which would blow snow.
