Now that the snow has arrived, a few reminders to get your snowblowers ready to go.

WDIO stopped by Northern Tool + Equipment to get some advice.

Mike Surface, the store manager, said, “Don’t start your engine until you get rid of all the old gas and put in fresh gas and oil. Also check your belts in case they are frayed. And make sure you have shear pins, in case yours break during a storm.”

Their service shop can also tune up your snowblower or make major repairs.

At the store, they also have battery powered blower shovels and blowers, plus generators.
