Why not heavy snow?
Those backpack blowers are extremely powerful.

Powerful, but snow is really heavy. It don't be able to blow far enough to clear a nice path.... they make a SNOW blower for a reason

The snow doesn't get that icy here in new york if you do it right away, it might not be perfect but not to need a snow blower seems pretty nice.

It looked like they were using leaf blowers on the snow in the field during the blizzard at the Eagles Lions game one Sunday. It looked like it worked.
