First time shoveler’s lament

Algonquin resident Stewart Logan discovered Wednesday that not all snowblowers are created equal.

“Our snowblower is too small, it’s unfortunately not equipped for this — much like myself,” Logan said.

Logan was busy shoveling his driveway at about 9:45 a.m. Wednesday. After 45 minutes, he was only a third of the way through.

After experiencing the 1979 snowstorm as a youngster, Logan has lived much of his life in Florida, and this was his first time shoveling snow. “It is definitely hard work,” he said.
