Wintertime Backyard Nature in New Jersey.

More snow (6-8″) is forecasted for tomorrow, so I needed to make sure that the driveway was cleared from the last storm. It took two runs with the snow blower. The first early in the morning when the snow was still hard, and a second run in the afternoon after the snow had softened. Both are combined in a time-lapse video taken with a Garmin VIRB-360 camera.

More snow early this morning. I went out after the snow stopped to widen the path to the road using the Brush Mower with Snow-blower attachment. First had to replace the broken collar connecting the Snow-blower attachment to the Brush Mower. Luckily, an extra collar was included in the assembly kit from the manufacture. Some of the snow had melted and refrozen making the task more difficult. I need to get chains for the wheels. Time-lapse video taken with a Garmin VIRB-360 camera.
