Leaf blowers do just blow air from the surrounds, so in hot weather the
air will be warm, if it's cold weather the air will be cold. There
might be a slight heating from the blower motor running, but it's not
much (unless the blower is badly in need of repair).

Why would it blow hot air on dead leaves? That could easily be a fire danger.

Fog can freeze, that appears to be what happened to gay boy's brain.

Snow forms in clouds before it can become rain. I can't believe the
level of ignorance this group has achieved, all because of right wing
people.

Wait, what? You're a right wing asshole who's onboard with lowering the

*whoosh* A _NUCLEAR_ powered leaf blower. It was a joke.

But the "Messageboard Ettiquette Laws (1983)" and later ammended to the
"Internet User Laws (1995)" clearly state that all text jokes must be
accompanied by a smiley ...

Scott Fahlman, a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon,
noticed that conversations were going awry on electronic
message boards the staff was using to communicate in the
early 1980s. Jokes were being lost, tones were being
misconstrued and unnecessary tirades were eclipsing the
intended discussions. So Fahlman, then in his early 30s,
made a simple, legendary suggestion: if you're being
humorous or ironic, label your comment with a smiley
face made of a colon, dash and parenthesis.

It was only partly a joke. The fact is you cannot tell any nuances from
simple text words, so that's why you should use smilies to make it
clear.

If "a nuclear powered leaf blower for an inch-thick coat of ice" is only
*partly* a joke, then I need whatever's the *opposite* of a smiley.

How do you think a nuclear reactor creates electrical power? They use
the heat from the decay of radioactive elements to HEAT WATER TO STEAM
which are run thru turbines. A lot of the engineering involved is
devoted to COOLING the relevant parts.

So just how cold is it that a nuclear reactor can't melt that ice? :P

We get that occasionally and while it never gets that dense you would
need to have your car's defroster on high to see where you're going to
melt it quickly enough.

Uh how does she think they MAKE steel?

(My late father in law could certainly tell her as he was one of the
operators of the machines that made molten steel and transferred it to
the rollers for Dofasco which is mostly about making sheet steel for
Ford)

Heat. So since fire can't melt steel and heat makes steel then
logically fire must be cold.
