We've a 300' steel slag driveway, a 28" 8hp two-stage MTD blower, and
some shovels. This is Northern Indiana, so we don't get nearly as
much snow as buffalo, but we do sometimes get a foot or so at once.
I'd think I'd want a bigger blower if it snowed more (of course, it
wouldn't fit anywhere... Maybe just a blower for the snowblower?)
heavily more often. With more than about 8", it can only do
half-widths without getting bogged down. If you go much bigger, you
won't be able to walks and such.
