Can you be more specific, where are you from, and where are you forecasting for.I am an expert on everything and a self taught expert on meteorology and I study "analogs" that means the same weather conditions we had in past years will most likely be the same under the same conditions this year, my analog years are 1966-67 and 1983-84 and we are in for a bad winter for 2020-21
Plus I am on other sites with weather experts and follow what they have and most of them are in agreement for a bad winter with lots of snow.
Maybe if I get my Wheel Horse-Toro snowblower running right I could sell it for someone desperate for big $$$
I really don't need it
While no " official " word, I, and others, are going by lack of models on the floor. I have been at 4 dealers in last 2 weeks. I was told by 2 dealers that deliveries are running late. Another told me straight out they think there will be a shortage, and units ordered not filled. They usually had toros arriving in July. And not a single machine yet.They seem to be out early this year (in NJ).
Has a shortage been confirmed or is it just hearsay at this point?
I don't trust the weather predictions anymore. Weather channel likes to over -predict for sensationalism and get viewers attention. Those panda videos are cute, but what does that have to do with tomorrow snowstorm?Bart, once again we are grateful that you joined this forum. I hadn't realized that we have you to turn to to solve all of our problems, not just snowblowers. Can you give us a month or so warning before any snowstorms are expected so we can get our snowblowers in order.
i would rather it be a small bird than a sea gull or a turkey buzzard , ever catch a load from a buzzard? i have once no thanks on a second ,I don't trust the weather predictions anymore.

If I wash my car, precipitation usually follows within 12 hours, when I need to be on the road. Also I get bird poop on my windshield. Mother Nature just can't resist messing with a clean car.
I grew up in Lafayette. Biggest store in the Newton area then was "Big N"...tdipaul
lowes in newton in sussex county now has 12 machines on display 6 ariens and 6 craftsman, no signs of any troybilts as of yet, than we don't know what they may have in storage awaiting assembly as winter gets closer.time will tell if for sure there is a real shortage thanks to this deadly bug the world is suffering from
My home depot still has New in box ariens machine with 2019 manufacturers dates on them. We had a poor snow year last year.All lined up in front of my local Home Depot.I'm betting many left over from last year?
