Last winter was a fluke -- two years ago our winter was so bad I almost moved to South Carolina in response. Every man has his breaking point and mine was something like two consecutive weeks of single digit highs near the end of March.

I remember that....but the crazy thing is, my friend who was living in SC at the time was experiencing single digits just like we were... we were like 1-4 degrees and they were barely breaking 10 degrees.
just go on craigslist and buy a good used 2 stage snowblower for $150 or so
brand is not that important as it used to be
get one bigger and more HP than you think you need, the little ones get bogged down when the snow is wet and heavy
That's exactly the consensus of other folks that I've spoken with personally on the subject. Glad to hear that no one seems to suggesting a 3-stage blower.
Hi, folks. My wife and I are moving from central Virginia to Connecticut. We get, maybe, one or 2 storms a year and it's just not big deal where we live. I don't figure that'll be the case in CT.
Our house in Southbury will have a long, fairly level, paved driveway leading to a 2-car garage. The house is off a main road so I'm only concerned about getting out of the driveway. What kind of snowblower do you folks recommend?
Sounds lot like my own house. I have a Craftsman 2 stage 24 inch - it takes me like half an hour most storms.
And trust me - typical winter you will use about a dozen times.

Sigh! Wish it was that easy. Although if you were going south, why not go further down and avoid cold weather altogether.

Highs in Columbia SC the next 3 days 98. 99, 98....yea... that's a lot better than here. LOL

As time passed, cooler (warmer?) heads prevailed. When you look at a more comprehensive list of pros vs cons, there's really nowhere in the South that survives a head-to-head comparison with Connecticut, especially with consideration of my particular lifestyle and priorities. I've concluded that if you can endure the winter and high taxes, this place is superior in nearly all other respects.
Obligatory on-topic comment: definitely want a two-stage snowblower.
