It seems that some love the thrower/blower and some don't. I use both as they can be useful in certain circumstances. One big advantage of the blower or thrower is they do not leave a snow/ice bank along the driveway for further drifting if snow comes before those banks melt. I have taken my 36 inch thrower and ground my neighbors drive snow banks down so he could use his plow again. His plow would not move those frozen banks but the thrower did. I also use a blade for the little snows as they work better than a blower in that circumstance. I really love a blower for cleaning out the end of the drive where the road crew piled up snow and for cleaning out my mail box where even a small snow gets plowed up.
