One snowblowing point that has not been emphasized here, along with power, is TRACTION. I concur that taking less than a full swath enables you to get by with a lot less power. I would be much less cheerful about having to drive through snow before blowing it. I live in southern Wisconsin and have used a 76" rear-facing snowblower since 1990.

However, in conditions where freezing rain precedes the snowfall going up hill on a paved drive is still a real challenge.
Live power and 4wd are both nice, and yes: you will throw dirt & rock; your neck will get sore; and you will get cold!
