So why not a blower? How much area do you need to clear? Of course if you get something that is allowed on the road you can do others/make a few bucks. But that can go badly too if others start expecting you to get them cleared out...
really don't want to deal with being outside - kinda got used to being inside a warm cab (yep, I'm spoiled) - I would never contract myself as THE plow guy - I have done it for neighbors as a favor when I can though
