Gas single-stage
Greenville gets enough snow that shovelling it all is a real job, about 3.4 tons a winter on this driveway, but storms over 8 inches are uncommon.
Before you buy, check the intake height against the deepest storm above, and plan to clear before the city plow leaves its ridge of heavy slush at the end of the drive.

Where these numbers come from

NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals from Versailles, 10.4 miles from Greenville. A normal winter, not this winter's forecast. Snow is weighed at 6.24 pounds a cubic foot, fresh and fairly dry; wet spring snow can weigh three times that.
- Days with snow on the ground come from a second nearby station, because the closest one does not record snow depth.
