Snow Blowers Still Worth The Investment

BOSTON (CBS) - In any other winter, early February would be considered a little late to make your initial investment in a snow blower. But, this is no ordinary winter, and the demand for the machines just keeps growing.

A powerful snow blower can easily cost close to a thousand dollars.

WBZ-TV's Jim Armstrong reports.

Staring down the barrel of a winter that likely still has some surprises on store is encouraging people to make the purchase. That's easier said than done, though.

Along with roof rakes, snow blowers seem to be the hardest to find tools this season. It is taking some people days' worth of phone calls, Internet searches, and driving from store to store just to be ready for the next few weeks.
