Hey, Howie!  I've never seen anything like that! :shocked2:  That's about as sick as it gets, man! :2vrolijk_21:  You could sell the begeezus outta those set-ups around here, I bet.

What rate of snowfall is it able to keep up with?!?  Do temps affect the performance, too?

That's freakin' cool! 8)

Hey Brian, thanks man, and I'm sure glad I didn't have to shovel too. I've been home sick all week. The system is definitely dependent on temperature. Also wind velocity and amount of snow/hour. You use these factors to design the system. Mine is set up for 0 deg F, 50 MPH winds, and 2" snow/hour. You can design it as powerful or weak as you want to. For powerful systems, like anything else, you need the HP to back it up. Just keep throwing BTU's at it! I love it! It's made my life so much easier in the winter! Hoist! 8)

Very perceptive Gene. The water vapor you see is the only by product of combustion released to the atomsphere, vented thru PVC pipes on the side of the house. The fresh air for the boilers enters from outside also. It's a sealed combustion system. It's 98%-99% effic. As a condensing boiler, any contaminants go out with the condensate to a floor drain.

We're getting clobbered too. We got freezing rain all day. I got some big piles fall off some surrounding roofs. Instant dump of 6"-8" in some spots. That will take awhile to melt now. I'll run the system until the entire property is dry! Hoist! 8)

I thought thats what it was as the new wave of construction up here is using that principle. Its quite cost effective on the new build although there is no NG  up here so propane is the fuel used.   Well  when your neighbors complain bout the loud pipes  just tell em in a ny way to keep your frikin   ice off my property  in the wintah    huh!!   Very cool  system :2vrolijk_21:

I'm lazy ( what else is new ) so I'm not gonna read all 6 pages of this thread, but did anyone suggest that the key to Howie's snow removal system is all the hot air that comes out of his pie hole ?

Snowed in the mountains, but missed us, and today it's going to be in the 60's! Think I'll go for a ride.
