(WBBM NEWSRADIO) – The owners of a Northbrook snow blower shop are watching the forecast closely.
Michael Keblusek describes last winter as a fiasco. Many forecasts of snow did not materialize, leading to what he says was the worst year that he and his brothers have been running Dehne Lawn and Leisure.
Now, with a genuine snow storm expected overnight, things may have turned.
“It’s like life insurance. You don’t buy life insurance hoping to die, but a snow blower is the same thing. You’re just hedging your bets in case there’s an event that you need to be ready for,” Keblusek said.
He encourages homeowners to test their snow blowers as soon as possible to make sure they work -- especially if they sat unused last winter.
