Must have for snow!
I finally got a Snow Brum after living in the northeast my whole life. I can't believe I've wasted so much time with a regualr snow brush. And this is a required tool if you have an SUV and hate having 50 pounds of snow slide down your wind shield when ever you hit the brakes. You can clean... -
Great Product
I bought my first one a number of years ago at a chain store and was skeptical but then after using it to push off huge amounts of snow with one sweep I was hooked. The telescoping handle is nice and reaches high over the car. Lots of heavy snow can be removed in a few minutes unlike a snow...

Holland, Ottawa County save millions on snow plowing
Less snow means less snow plowing, and it’s saved governments big money this (especially mild) winter.
The Ottawa County Road Commission saved more than $1 million on road plowing and Holland saved $150,000, officials said.
“Where we save is salt and overtime — that’s really where we save the money,” said Tim Vagle, the city’s finance director.
The lakeshore received about 55 inches of snow this winter — almost 20 inches less than the average.
Although the city budgeted $706,400 for snow and ice control, it spent $389,059, which would look like a $317,340 savings, except that those full-time workers were busy doing other necessary jobs around the city.
“Because there wasn’t much snow, we were able to do a lot of work in drains and ditches — outdoor work that would usually need to be done in the summer,” Vagle said, adding a more realistic savings is $150,000 — a savings nonetheless.
$98000 snowplow simulators let drivers practice: Watch out for ...
The snow is virtual, but the white knuckles on the steering wheels are real.
That's the experience snowplow drivers and would-be snowplow drivers are getting on the Minnesota Department of Transportation's new snowplow simulators.
The $98,000 devices are replicas of snowplow cabs, with steering wheels, brake, accelerator and clutch pedals, gear shifts, ignition keys, turn signals and horns.
Three 42-inch flat plasma television screens play the role of the windshields and side windows. Dashboard controls adjust the virtual mirrors, strobe lights, snowplow blades and salt spreader. There's a knob to adjust a real dashboard ventilation fan. About the only thing missing is a coffee cup holder.
"I've been asked about that," said Bradley Swartz, a MnDOT employee who helps train drivers on the simulator.
With the help of a bank of computers, the simulator allows drivers to practice hundreds of plowing scenarios, from mountain two-laners to interstate highways to built-up urban areas, in bright sunlight as well as nighttime blizzards.
The computers can be dialed up to provide a menu of hazards from glare ice to high winds.
If the driver steers too far to the side of the road, he'll feel the steering wheel vibrate because he's strayed onto a rumble strip. If he seems to get a little complacent, the trainers can tell the computers to simulate a blown tire. If a student fails to notice the warning light showing the brake's air pressure system has blown, eventually the wheels will start to smoke and the engine will overheat.
"We put a little pressure on them," said Andrew Kubista, coordinator of the simulator program. "One thing we always utilize is a deer jumping out of the ditch."
"I can throw the kitchen sink at them. Everything short of a hurricane," Swartz said.
"We can do a hurricane too," Kubista said.
And the simulator programmers haven't forgotten the most dangerous hazard of all: other people. A simulator session is likely to include...
