Do you need a snowblower in Greenville, WI?

Your answer for Greenville

Gas single-stage

Greenville gets enough snow that shovelling it all is a real job, about 6.4 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.

Heavy, more than most snowy cities. That is about 1.4 times what a typical snowy US city gets. It tends to stay, so each storm lands on the last one.

On a two car driveway that is about 6.4 tons of snow to move in a season, and a 10 inch storm weighs 2,600 pounds.
