I moved to Louisville from Minnesota, so I’m no stranger to snow. But in all my time living here, I’ve never owned a proper snow shovel. That changed this week: with the impending blizzard, I finally bought one. If you’re like me and have been putting it off, consider this your final reminder before we potentially get snowed in. I got mine at Westenhofer Hardware.
