| How to Contain Melting Slush Puddles |
| By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL) |
A snow-free driveway often equals a snow-covered snow blower.
Most people prefer hot chocolate over wiping down a snow blower.
While you're inside warming your tootsies, the snow is slowly melting into a sloppy slush puddle on your garage floor.
The Ariens Rubber Floor Mat is great at keeping your socks dry. The heavy-duty rubber material won't fall apart like card board does. Plus, it allows the water to evaporate unlike rugs.
We actually tested it out. The Ariens floor mat successfully held more than 2 quarts of water before overflowing.
As an added bonus, it protected the floor from difficult-to-remove stains. |

| When the First Flakes Start Falling |
| By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL) |
Unless you live deep in the heart of Dixie, you're going to experience some snow fall this winter.
When should you expect the first flake to fall?
Surprisingly, altitude is just as important as latitude.
It historically snows in the mountains of Arizona and New Mexico before Chicago.
To estimate the first snow fall in your area, check out the map provided by NOAA.
Just make sure you order your snow blower before the white stuff arrives. :) |

| Farmer's Almanac Winter 2010 Forecast |
| By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL) |
Groundhogs Day is a downright hoax. The Farmer’s Almanac, however, may be onto something.
Last year, the 193-year-old publication was on target when it called for the second straight winter with lots of snow.
The almanac's 2010 edition is predicting a major snowfall in mid-February possibly even blizzard conditions for New England.
The 2008 & 2009 winters in Chicago were unseasonably harsh. Spring waited until late May to finally sprung two years in a row.
In fact, it’s been cool in the Windy City this summer too. Despite all the hysteria over global warming, Chicago didn’t see a single day over 100 degrees this summer. We experienced only a handful of days above 90 degrees.
Will the cold streak continue as predicted? We’ll find out soon enough. |
