While it’s still nice outside for the most part, fall is definitely upon us. Leaves are changing, the days are noticeable shorter, and the temperatures are much cooler. As night follows day, so winter follows fall. As much as we’d rather no think about the coming season, the cold, the snow, and the ice – it’s coming. Minnesota winters can be unpredictable, to say the least. They might creep up on us slowly, or they might start with a blizzard. There may be short-lived periods of temperate weather, only to be followed on by a stretch of sub-zero conditions. One thing is certain, the Twin Cities and surrounding areas are no stranger to snow and ice. If you are not prepared however, winter can be quite a bit tougher to get through.

 One of the most formidable tools in the arsenal that is often brought to bear against winter is the snow blower. Whether faced with a few inches of snow or an ice-age, they churn through it without complaint. Available in many sizes and power ratings, they make the chore of clearing your driveway and sidewalks much more manageable than doing so with a hand shovel.

 Many different snow blowers come into our shop for a variety of reasons. Some people decide to upgrade to a newer or larger model while others may downgrade as they have moved to a townhome or condo that includes snow removal services. We even run into folks that no longer have need for a one because they have moved to a climate devoid of snow. But if you’re stuck in Minnesota, don’t also be stuck in your driveway – invest in a snow blower, not in pain relief medicines for your back!
