To cut thru the crap the plow leaves at the end of driveway you need something with some guts. I had a single stage living near DC and it was ok but on the one time where we had a very big snow it was not up to the task.
My regret was not getting one with a tall enough opening and possibly slightly wider. I'd go minimum 24 inch tall now if doing it again. I had several snow events that required multiple passes because my rig was only about 18 to 20 inch tall intake and the snow would just go over the top.
Also get electric start, where you can plug into wall and hit a button.

All great advice, thank you. I'm only clearing a small area at work and while the plow truck pushes a ton of snow into my entrance area, I don't mind a little shovel work breaking up the tough stuff.
Have missed to track-based Hondas in the last few days, everyone knows we're going to have a rough winter this year.
