I know I'll come off as one of those heavy snow area snobs, but cmon, the NJ/NYC area gets like what, 18 in. of snow on average for the whole winter? I'm surprised you guys need a snow brush for your car much less a snowblower.
I suppose every 10-20 years you get a "heavy" snowfall, but unless you get 100+ inches of snow a year, I think you can get by with getting a little exercise. (the two or three days for the winter that you get enough snow to worry about)
