So it below 30 today and my splitter and tractor are a mess. Dirt and snow all over anything.

What do you do? I'm thinking hose it down then right in the garage or will I freeze something important?
 
A broom make removing that snow really quick and easy.
 
Leaf blower??

Since I got a leaf blower it seems like I use it for everything, gutters. Truck bed.

Leaf blower does a amazing job drying my motorcycle and car. Not a water mark on them.

Well I hosed them down, then blew them with the air compressor and then sat them in the garage with a space heater which helped melt the ice which formed when i wet it. I'm sure it'll be easier in the spring.
