Robert Bulris, owner of Bob's One Stop Repair in Plattsburgh, cleans a snow blower carburetor in his shop. Bulris received four snow blowers for service Wednesday morning and expects more today as customers get ready for the winter storm and begin clearing walks and driveways. Forecasters predict 10 to 14 inches in the Champlain Valley. More is predicted in the Adirondacks, according to the National Weather Service. According to Bulris, the most common problem with snow blowers is old gas, which makes it hard to start the engine. He suggests getting snow blowers checked early in the season to ensure they are working during inclement weather.<br><br>(STAFF PHOTO/KELLI CATANA)
