Minnesota-based Toro is following the snow and testing some of its equipment in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
The Daily Globe in Ironwood reports Friday that Toro has been testing snowblowers since Jan. 10 at Gogebic-Iron County Airport.
Plans were to test them in northern Minnesota, but not enough snow has fallen there this winter.
Airport manager Duane DuRay says Ironwood Township had about three inches of snow cover when Toro called about the testing. But even that was enough. This week there were snow piles of two to three feet deep at the airport.
DuRay says 10 local people have been hired to test the machines. He says Toro may spend another three weeks at the airport.
Toro's main office is in Bloomington, Minn.
