Year 243 (CCXLIII) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known in Rome as the Year of the Consulship of Arrianus and Papus (or, less frequently, year 996 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 243 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter. The others are solid, liquid, and plasma. A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide). A gas mixture, such as air, contains a variety of pure gases. What distinguishes gases from liquids and solids is the vast separation of the individual gas particles. This separation usually makes a colorless gas invisible to the human observer.
The gaseous state of matter occurs between the liquid and plasma states, the latter of which provides the upper-temperature boundary for gases. Bounding the lower end of the temperature scale lie degenerative quantum gases which are gaining increasing attention. High-density atomic gases super-cooled to very low temperatures are classified by their statistical behavior as either Bose gases or Fermi gases. For a comprehensive listing of these exotic states of matter, see list of states of matter.
Snow comprises individual ice crystals that grow while suspended in the atmosphere—usually within clouds—and then fall, accumulating on the ground where they undergo further changes. It consists of frozen crystalline water throughout its life cycle, starting when, under suitable conditions, the ice crystals form in the atmosphere, increase to millimeter size, precipitate and accumulate on surfaces, then metamorphose in place, and ultimately melt, slide or sublimate away.
Snowstorms organize and develop by feeding on sources of atmospheric moisture and cold air. Snowflakes nucleate around particles in the atmosphere by attracting supercooled water droplets, which freeze in hexagonal-shaped crystals. Snowflakes take on a variety of shapes, basic among these are platelets, needles, columns and rime. As snow accumulates into a snowpack, it may blow into drifts. Over time, accumulated snow metamorphoses, by sintering, sublimation and freeze-thaw. Where the climate is cold enough for year-to-year accumulation, a glacier may form. Otherwise, snow typically melts seasonally, causing runoff into streams and rivers and recharging groundwater.
Major snow-prone areas include the polar regions, the northernmost half of the Northern Hemisphere and mountainous regions worldwide with sufficient moisture and cold temperatures. In the Southern Hemisphere, snow is confined primarily to mountainous areas, apart from Antarctica.
Snow affects such human activities as transportation: creating the need for keeping roadways, wings, and windows clear; agriculture: providing water to crops and safeguarding livestock; sports such as skiing, snowboarding, and snowmachine travel; and warfare. Snow affects ecosystems, as well, by providing an insulating layer during winter under which plants and animals are able to survive the cold.
Start can refer to multiple topics:
- Takeoff, the phase of flight where an aircraft transitions from moving along the ground to flying through the air
- Starting lineup in sports
- Standing start, and rolling start, in an auto race
Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon with improved strength and fracture resistance compared to other forms of iron. Because of its high tensile strength and low cost, steel is one of the most commonly manufactured materials in the world. Steel is used in buildings, as concrete reinforcing rods, in bridges, infrastructure, tools, ships, trains, cars, bicycles, machines, electrical appliances, furniture, and weapons.
Iron is always the main element in steel, but many other elements may be present or added. Stainless steels, which are resistant to corrosion and oxidation, typically need an additional 11% chromium.
Iron is the base metal of steel. Depending on the temperature, it can take two crystalline forms (allotropic forms): body-centred cubic and face-centred cubic. The interaction of the allotropes of iron with the alloying elements, primarily carbon, gives steel and cast iron their range of unique properties. In pure iron, the crystal structure has relatively little resistance to the iron atoms slipping past one another, and so pure iron is quite ductile, or soft and easily formed. In steel, small amounts of carbon, other elements, and inclusions within the iron act as hardening agents that prevent the movement of dislocations.
The carbon in typical steel alloys may contribute up to 2.14% of its weight. Varying the amount of carbon and many other alloying elements, as well as controlling their chemical and physical makeup in the final steel (either as solute elements, or as precipitated phases), impedes the movement of the dislocations that make pure iron ductile, and thus controls and enhances its qualities. These qualities include the hardness, quenching behaviour, need for annealing, tempering behaviour, yield strength, and tensile strength of the resulting steel. The increase in steel's strength compared to pure iron is possible only by reducing iron's ductility.
Steel was produced in bloomery furnaces for thousands of years, but its large-scale, industrial use began only after more efficient production methods were devised in the 17th century, with the introduction of the blast furnace and production of crucible steel. This was followed by the Bessemer process in England in the mid-19th century, and then by the open-hearth furnace. With the invention of the Bessemer process, a new era of mass-produced steel began. Mild steel replaced wrought iron. The German states were the major steel producers in Europe in the 19th century. American steel production was centred in Pittsburgh, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and Cleveland until the late 20th century. Currently, world steel production is centered in China, which produced 54% of the world's steel in 2023.
Further refinements in the process, such as basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS), largely replaced earlier methods by further lowering the cost of production and increasing the quality of the final product. Today more than 1.6 billion tons of steel is produced annually. Modern steel is generally identified by various grades defined by assorted standards organizations. The modern steel industry is one of the largest manufacturing industries in the world, but also one of the most energy and greenhouse gas emission intense industries, contributing 8% of global emissions. However, steel is also very reusable: it is one of the world's most-recycled materials, with a recycling rate of over 60% globally.
Steering is the control of the direction of motion or the components that enable its control. Steering is achieved through various arrangements, among them ailerons for airplanes, rudders for boats, cylic tilting of rotors for helicopters, and many more.

We have had it for 2 weeks. great snow throwing range. Useful and efficient cluthes for turning. Strong with nice big tires to pull through the snow. Makes snow removing easier.
by Mitch
A very good blower, 4 stars because of minor set up problems by whoever assembled it. (skids not properly set) Started 1st time with only 3 pulls and has ran flawlessly since.

Bought this Cub Cadet 26 inch with a 243 cc Motor this morning at 7 am from Home Depot. We were in the middle of a heavy snow here in the Detroit area. I didn’t want one. I have my trusty Toro single stage blower. But my wife convinced me it was time to buy a “Real snowblower” So my son and I walked in to HD and here was this beauty sitting there. We checked out how well someone put it together (nice work Hd)paid for it and was out in 15 minutes. Read the Manuel over a big cup of Joe and Went outside Checked the oil (came with it) added some fresh fuel, grabbed the extension cord, plugged it in, put on the choke. Pushed the primer 3 times pushed the start button and viola. Running. 1 minute on choke then moved to no choke. I was plowing. All within An hour. Now my son usually hates snow blowing but he saw the led lights and auto drive wheels and he took over. Yes it cut thru the 8 inches of heavy wet snow with no problem. I highly recommend this as your main blower. Main blower? Yep you still need the old toro for the porch and tight areas. Also some dummy drove up and down the driveway and there were packed down areas from the tires. The Cub won’t go down to the cement on packed surfaces like the toro with the rubber paddles. So I am very happy I got up (too early on a Saturday)and bought this Cub Cadet. I highly recommend it.

This machine throws the snow better than Tom Brady in a Super Bowl comeback! It cuts through snow like Julian Eldelman crossing through a defense. It’s tougher than a Gronk spike. This machine works better than a deferred coin toss from the start. If you want a winning snow blower this is the machine for you.

This snowblower survived and thrived in a wicked Wisconsin winter! We had tons of snow all winter (set records) and this snowblower took it like a beast. Had no mechanical issues and no parts broke or had to be replaced. It is a heavier machine, but easily started and ran without issue. I used this to not only clear my 3 car driveway, but 2-3 neighbors driveways on our street during big snow storms. It easily cared for any snow in its way. The only thing I would make better is that the gear engage lever seemed to not give good speed adjustments – I could go really slow and then the next gear up it went too fast. Overall a great machine that I’ve been happy with all this winter through to our recent April blizzard!

This is by far the most feature-packed snow blower available at this price point. It’s only missing hand warmers; everything else is there: power steering, electric start, dual LED headlights, poly skid shoes, tall tires with deep and grippy tread. It recently cleared 6″ of wet, heavy northeastern snow with a sheet of ice on top off of my steep, 120′ driveway with ease. The most frustrating part of the process of purchasing and using the machine was waiting for it to come back into stock after it sold out. Fortunately, a store near my house was able to deliver it before the next storm hit.

This is an update of my December 9, 2018 review where I stated the snowblower would not start. Cub Cadet responded with a case number 04349005. I was finally able to get my snow blower started today. I found the drain screw for the carb, drained out close to a cup of gas and tried starting it. It didn’t start, but I was encouraged to go further when I saw that this model did NOT have the carb bolts coming through the shield as I’d seen in a youtube video. This told me that the carb stays on when the shield is removed. I removed the four bolts and pulled up on the choke knob. Then I worked a little bit to discover that the speed lever stays on and pulls through the cover via a slot in the middle. Then I unscrewed the plastic “throat” over the carb, put the shutoff key back in and hit the starter while I gave it a shot of starter spray. IT STARTED! Used a wide blade screwdriver to adjust the choke and let it run. No need for $150 service call or renting a truck to take it for service.
