Snow buried the East Coast and caused school-age children to dance with joy.
Hard winds blew down from Canada and brought bitter cold.
Pipes burst, cars stalled, and streets turned to ice rings.
The brave or the determined crowded the shopping centers and malls to
hunt for Christmas presents, to ponder bright wrappings and ribbons.
Holiday cards arrived in the mail, and kitchens smelled of baking.
Boston shivered, shoveled out, and watched another six inches of snow fall.
Bundled in layers against the cold and armed with a snow shovel, Laura
trooped out to clear the driveway. The sunlight bounced off the white ground
and stung the eyes, so she tumbled a pair of sunglasses out of her pocket.
The chill air bit her cheeks, burned her throat.
She couldn't have been happier.

It could happen in October or it may happen in January. Depending on where you live, the season’s first big snowstorm could be just days or weeks away. But no matter where you live, now is the best time to get your snowblower ready for the season’s first blast of snow.
It takes about an hour to get your gas-powered snowblower ready for winter.
