It kinda depends on if you get the wet stuff or the dry stuff and how
cold it is after it falls. The dry stuff just plows out of the way and
life goes on. The wet stuff can be plowed, IF you have a big enough
plow. But if it's wet snow like northern MN got last weekend and then
the temp drops to minus 30F, you have real trouble.

My buddy drives a plow for MnDot. Picture 54,000 pounds of Ford 9000
series with a 11' front plow and a 10' wing plow off the LEFT side (he
runs lead, the other guy has the right hand wing) Drive along at 40 mph
at 4AM


He needs a REAL plow...

That "little" blower would come in handy some days. I bet a SMART car
would fly through it with no problem....

When I lived in our previous house and worked out of an office at the
airport, my driveway was about 60 feet long and since I kept my camper
in front of the gara -er- workshop, all my snow had to come to the
front lawn. I often threatened to have the maintenance crew come and
blow my snow pile over the house into the back yard.
