I've been curious about moving snow with a 3 point blade, too. In the past I've used 2WD utility tractors and a 6' or 8' boxed scraper (boxed blade) without chains to move snow, but the box quickly fills up and starts piling under the wheels of the tractor, so it's not ideal for large areas or long runs. On the plus side, it's easy to push AND pull snow with a boxed scraper without adjusting anything (since they're designed to push and pull dirt). A lot of the problem is you can't angle a boxed scraper.

How well does it work to turn a 3 pt. blade around backwards and push snow with the blade angled (as Brian in MO relates)? Seems like this would work well but having never tried it, I'm not sure. Can anyone tell me if there's much difference between pushing and pulling snow with a 3 pt. blade? Seems like your driving wheels would more likely be on cleared pavement if you pushed. Also, do they make hydraulic angling blades that will turn 180 degrees under hydraulic power? I don't imagine they do.
