I grew up in the middle of Wisconsin and later lived outside of Duluth for 6 years. Duluth was a lot worse for snow.

You could start out with a $1300 truck but I bet it won't stay a $1300 truck. I think also a big question here is whether you get drifting at all.
If the road is sheltered by trees etc a truck of some sort might be fine, because then the snow would tend to come down and not across the road. Big, big difference.

Otherwise I'd say consider a 40 or 50 hp tractor with rear mounted snowblower. You probably would want a cab on it if you can afford it.

When we first settled up north we'd have a neighbor plow our 150 yd driveway with his pickup plow, and when the drifts got high enough, we'd hire the county to come in with a big truck plow or road grader. That in turn set us up for bigger drifts. Eventually we got both a MH50 and a 8 hp snowblower.
