After snowblowing the drive yesterday, noticed that all of the wall outlets in the garage do not work. Circuit tester shows them all to be dead. No breakers popped on the panel. At a loss what to do next.
Advice, please.

As pjenkins said, there is a 99.9% chance that this is a GFCI problem. But the GFCI outlet may not be in the garage. Press the reset button on every GFCI outlet in your house until the outlets work again. Look first in the bathrooms, kitchen, basement, garage, front and back porch, and utility room. Then look everywhere else. Don't forget to look behind furniture, cabinets, appliances, and stuff stored in your garage and basement.
Persistence will pay off.
By the way, you don't have a short -- you have an open.
