So electric snowblowers are a great option for homeowners and small businesses to clear snow without the need for gasoline, oil and regular maintenance that gas-powered blowers require. Electric snowblowers range from large models designed to clear driveways to power shovels that quickly clear snow from walkways and patios.

Electric snowblowers, though, offer quieter operation, with highly efficient brushless motors.

A company that sells replacement winter tires is recalling more than 541,000 of them in the U. S. because they don’t have enough snow traction to meet North American standards. Prinx Chengshan Tire North America is recalling over 100 sizes of Fortune Tormenta and Prinx Hicountry tires with three-peak mountain snowflake symbols on the sidewalls.
