HOT IN THE COLD
Snow Joe electric snow throwers provide a no-gas solution to snow removal. The Snow Joe Plus ($99), pictured here, has a shovel-like appearance, making it ideal for shoveling sidewalks, decks and porches. The Snow Joe Ultra ($189-$249) is designed for larger driveways and heavier snowfalls; it moves up to 650 pounds of snow per minute and is equipped with a headlight, illuminating paths during winter's dark morning or evening hours. Both are available at Lowe's, Sears and Walmart stores, or online at Snowjoe.com and Amazon.com.
