I noticed the Pinetime smartwatch is down to $26.99, which is getting toward morally-obligated-to-buy levels. Unfortunately, shipping is $30. However, it's flat for multiple watches (I tried getting 4 and it stayed at $30), so I was wondering if anyone in the Ottawa region would be interested in perhaps doing a small group buy.

The watch, BTW: https://pine64.com/product-category/pinetime-smartwatch/

Okay, Ottawa-specific question:

What's a good cheap snowblower for a small driveway?

I *hate* shovelling, but I also don't have enough driveway to justify one of those $3k monsters. Plus, I'd prefer something battery-powered if possible.

The problem is that Ottawa snow tends to be wet, so I need something powerful enough to handle that while still being on the low end of things.

Anyone have any good experiences? Or bad experiences?
