  • If you can avoid going out the first one or two heavy snows of the year, do it. We talk a good game about driving great on snow, but a lot of us forget between one season and the next.

    If you're moving somewhere fairly urban or in the suburbs, you won't have to deal with much snow on the roads as we've got a lot of experience with snow and those plows will be out salting the night before and plowing at 4:30 AM. The further you are from the main roads, the later you'll get plowed.

    If you live in an apartment I'd expect the parking lots to be plowed as well as they can but of course a bunch of parked cars are hard to plow around.

    Lately snow has been sparse. I think I only got out my blower twice the whole season. That's very light compared to twenty, thirty years ago when snow would cover the ground in January and you wouldn't see grass until late March. So if it's a heavy year, watch out, but I'd say probably 2-4 times per month on average, usually clustered together into like a bad week or something.
