Waiting for Snow

Here on Long Island we are waiting for our first snowstorm which is supposed to take place tomorrow. I guess I need to get my Snow blower ready to go.
Wouldn't you know it, that after 6 inches of snow, the darn snow blower wouldn't start. It has been sitting in the garage for 2 winters and when you really need it, you end up using a snow shovel.
