Ready for Heavy Snows? How We Scored on a Brand New Snow Blower
Using reviews, friendly advice, the small print and credit to make a savvy choice
After a heavy, wet snowfall last winter when Belle and I had out of town guests over for the baby shower of our oldest son, Ryan, and his wife, Jen, it took four of us several hours to dig out our portion of our long, shared driveway. With another grandchild on the way, moving to Florida is out of the question; we don’t want to do this again, and since hiring a snow removal service may be costly and sometimes become backlogged in severe weather, we decide to purchase a snowblower.
Initially, we look at places like Craigslist and Let It Go, but closer inspection reveals that many of the better models are several hundred dollars-off retail and discontinued models, at that.
