I use an old single stage Snapper and I live in Michigan. I just don't
let the snow get ahead of me. I blow it before I get 6". A single stage
model will be fine for what passes a snow in DC.

Subject: Single stage Snowblowers
It's that time of year- and my wife has given me the go-ahead to buy a
snowblower. I live in the DC area, so most snows are relatively light
(4"-8"), but we do get the occasional "big one" that can end up in the
1'-2' range. I'm only going to be doing driveways and sidewalks, not a
huge area.
My local dealer is recommending single stage units- and sells both Toro
and Ariens. I've heard good things about both brands, but I'm looking
for more input. There are Honda dealers around as well, I just haven't
visited them yet.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Larry
