Is it worth running a snowblower for that little snow?
We got about four inches of snow yesterday. It fell slowly but steadily for most of the day, but it was the light powdery snow that's easy to clear. I went for a walk in the evening and saw someone using a leaf blower to blow the snow off their car, which got me thinking that maybe a leaf blower would be an effective way to deal with light powdery snow. It's easy to shovel but takes so many passes across the driveway because the shovel leaves a trail either side. In previous years one of next door's kids (we share a driveway, so clearing it is usually a joint effort) has wielded a wide broom to clear up the remains from the rest of us pushing shovels.
Maybe I'll get a blower next time there's a sale on at the local hardware store.
