It’s exciting when it snows after such a long time.

I cleared the snow from in front of the shop and off the truck starting in the evening.
If it snowed every year, I’d buy one of those engine-powered ones, but…

With a leaf rake, you can move powder snow pretty easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

FRITZ Curved Bristle Bloom Garden Brush “Small”<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a rather unusual brush.
I basically bought it to collect fallen leaves from street trees.

Tools really are German engineering… I think to myself wistfully (*’\u03c9’*) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than collecting things finely, it’s more of a sweeping-it-all-up kind of feel. All at once! might be the right way to describe it. I use it when there are lathe chips too.
And the color is just lovely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The characteristic feature of this brush is that the bristles curl at the tip, which is what makes it collect so well.

When more snow came today, I tried sweeping with this thing, and it was surprisingly powerful! One generous stroke and you get a good amount. As long as the snow hasn’t hardened, you can collect it.
After all this snow, I’m thinking maybe once a year is enough…
