How often should you get snow equipment ready?
Every fall. On a calendar: November.
Why it matters
The first storm is the worst possible time to discover the snow blower won't start and the stores are sold out of ice melt.
How to do it
Start the snow blower, check the shear pins and keep spares, and lay in ice melt and a decent shovel before the season begins.
Signs you've waited too long
Shoveling wet snow at dawn while the blower sits dead in the garage.
