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.
OAE could refer to:
- Oceanic Anoxic event, in which the Earth's oceans become completely depleted of oxygen below the surface levels.
- Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, a British period instrument orchestra.
- Otoacoustic emissions, involved in testing hearing.
- Omni Air Express, United States (ICAO operator designator)
- Operation Active Endeavour

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

Excellent snow blower cleans snow fast and doesn’t clog in wet snow.
by John
Wasn’t that hard to assemble. There are videos on toros website that help. Checking the oil, you seat the dipstick , but don’t lock in. Starts and runs good, but haven’t blown any snow yet. Nice machine!
by Ron
Excellent machine! Easy to start, easy to maneuver, eats through snow no matter what, simply love it!
by Matthew
Affordable high-performance snow machine.

In Massachusetts along the NorthEast coast where I live, we get a lot of very heavy wet snow that is consistent to a concrete slurry. Back breaking when shoveling. I needed a machine that could move the slurry with no worry and after several weeks of looking at different manufacturers and models I decided on the best choice and I was not wrong. Shortly after purchase, it was called into service on my 135 foot uphill driveway 4 times in a one month period this winter and never failed. Reliable, easy to start and control. I look forward to next winter. Thank you.

Snow blower is great but the trucking company was not.
by Steve
4 stars instead of 5 because the instructions that come with the Toro 826 OAE snowblower are very poorly done. We had it delivered & assembly was pretty straightforward. Unfortunately, I over-primed it & flooded the engine the first time I tried to use it. After watching a YouTube video, I finally got it running properly and it cleared 3-4 inches of wet, heavy, spring snow very well.

Had to buy a new snowblower for our new place. Bought this back in October and got to use it in mid-December. It is a total workhorse! The joystick chute control is something that all blowers should have, especially the main line brands. It chopped up the ice at our apron no problem and after getting 42″ of snow, it cleaned the driveway very efficiently with no issues. It started with barely a full pull each time and we have had 0 issues with it so far. You can’t go wrong with the Toro brand.
by Daniel
Great machine, so easy to handle. But the lowest speed is a bit too fast as it can’t take in the full auger height of snow at that speed so it’s move 2 ft, wait 2 seconds, repeat.
