Re: [BlindHandyMan] gas powered leaf blowers for snow
that is what Philadelphia uses in some of the fleet. With the budget problems, they now cancel trash pick up when they are going to send the trucks out for plowing that day. Of course that gives the guys a reason to lay off the pick up routine the day before a plow day if they are forewarned. That's what they did to me last week. Wednesday is my pickup, at about 10AM Wednesday they announced that Thurs and after would be picked up next (this) week. haha my noon pick up was unfullfilled.

[BlindHandyMan] gas powered leaf blowers for snow
I was talking to a friend that was the maintenance manager for the local hospital.

I'll bet they are out there immediately as the snow is falling. We don't bother moving small amounts of snow like that except maybe with a quick pass with a scraper. I like my 36 inch wide scraper for light snow, tilt the blade slightly and walk down one side of a walk pushing the snow to one side then turn and comeback on the other side, like a miniature grader.
