All true. While we don't get the frequency of snow here in Maryland, we do get dumped on every other year, often well over 8 inches back to back storms. I have a drive way that is over 1/2 mile in length.
If you need a tractor, or one comes with the place, make sure it has a PTO and buy a larger snow blower that is run off the PTO.
Heavy, wet snow is hard to plow unless you have a 4x4 set up.
