Snow Blowers

I was directed to this site from the Husqvarna website, but I'm not sure if this will be helpful given the nature of my inquiry. I paid, in advance, at my local Lowe's store for the Husqvarna ST224 (24") 208cc Two-Stage Snow Blower as it was not in stock, but was advertised on sale on their website back in early November. Lowe's is now telling me they have no idea when this model will be in-stock and their website has mysteriously removed this model completely. Several other websites show this model as "discontinued," but this is one of the brand new line of "redesigned" snowblowers for 2015 so I'm a bit confused. Maybe Husqvarna didn't produce enough of this model and, therefore, has not shipped them out to their distributors. Does anyone know if there are delays in production or distribution of the newly re-designed models?
