Up here in New England, we've had piles of snow on the ground since well before Thanksgiving. That means our trusty snowblowers have been working hard for months already, and odds are they'll be needing a nice tune-up pretty soon. Those of us who get a lot of snow know we've got to take care of or snow throwers, else we'll be up at the crack of dawn with nothing but a shovel and our own aching bodies to clear a driveway that seems to get longer the more we clear.
First things first, you may have noticed that on this blog and throughout our site, we use the terms
snowblower and
snow thrower interchangeably. As it turns out, that may not be strictly accurate.
