Yes, it's definitely better to use a snow blower for large amounts of snow. If you live in an area that has limited snow fall, or only snows a few times a year, it's better just to save money and use a shovel.
Yes the snow blower is easier than shoveling snow. The snow blower will allow your body to take less stress than it would if you were to shovel snow with a shovel.
There is very little difference between a snow blower and an electric snow shovel. Both are effectively snow blowers which use power to move snow rather than manual labour.
If you have a snow shovel lying around for winter use, you can actually get far more out of it than simply clearing your snowy driveway and sidewalk in the winter. Use a snow shovel with a curve to clean up flooded water in your basement or garage after it rains. A snow shovel is also great for breaking up ice in the winter, and when you have an oil spill in your garage a snow shovel can shovel up something absorbent like cat litter used to clean up the oil.
It is generally not recommended to shovel snow if freezing rain is expected, as clearing the snow could create an icy surface when the rain freezes on top of it. It is safer to wait until after the freezing rain has passed before shoveling snow.
It would be cheaper buying a snow blower in the fall rather than the spring. The selection of snow blowers may be fewer if they are bought later than fall.
I suppose it is really a matter of your opinion. If more snow is coming, I would shovel to decrease the amount of work later, but if it is just one inch, and nothing else, probably not.
Not really. A shovel is the most practical tool to use when resloping your yard.
Of course! A spork is the ultimate grub shovel.
the shovel is now a "recycle" button - works better than the shovel - we all are busy Farmville Farmer's in this house
because hail can hurt you but snow can't
YEAH brilliant for boarding
Yes.
