How much snow can a snow blower handle?

A Single Stage Snow-Blower In Action

The level or quantity of snow a snow blower can deal with depends on which type of machine you choose.

Snow blowers range from simple, small, single-stage domestic electric machines, suitable for clearing a small path or drive of light falls of snow, to large dual-stage petrol machines capable of clearing heavy falls from large yards, roads or even airport runways.

Dual-stage snow blowers can usually deal with impacted snow or ice, due to their construction.
