Default WHY DOESN'T MY SNOWBLOWER BLOW SNOW

OK so you want a serious answer?
If its dry snow, snow blowers work well, ie the powdered stuff. It does
have some adaptation for ice as has been eluded to , but wet snow is a bit
like mud against sand. It clumps together and is also a lot heavier and so
is not going to go so far.
If you used to get snow that was dry, and now get snow that is damp then
that is global warming for you. You may need to invest in a shovel as we do
here in the UK as much of the time our snow is wet, and you do not see many
snow blowers about mainly as they don't work very well on wet snow.

i live just outside of alaska there's no such thing as wet snow ,
even the humidity here is only 20% everything is dry
