At that point, you\u2019re stuck attacking it with a snow blower (preferably a two-stage model to cut through that heavy snow) or getting a good workout with a shovel.<\/p>\n<p>But if you live in the land of ice and snow, you\u2019re familiar with waking up to an inch or three of powder snow covering everything\u2014the winter equivalent of a little summer drizzle<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s almost pointless to snow blow it because it\u2019s so light the snow blower tends to just throw it directly up in the air, and it\u2019s annoying to shovel it because you spend so much time moving so little snow around. But a leaf blower is a whole different story. You can do your best mother nature impression and create your own high-speed wind to blast light snow away.<\/p>\n<p>The blower directs a concentrated air stream right along the ground and blows the snow right off steps, sidewalks, patios, and even your driveway if you use a sort of side-walking cutting motion to \u201csweep\u201d the snow across the width of the driveway.<\/p>\n<p>Just this morning, I cleared two inches of snow off my car in about 20 seconds, just sweeping the blower back and forth over the car\u2014and then finished off the rest of my morning snow-clearing routine in a few minutes.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Really_Want_an_Electric_Leaf_Blower_for_Snow\"><\/span>You Really Want an Electric Leaf Blower for Snow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While you can certainly use a gasoline-powered snow blower to blow snow off your car or patio, we\u2019re not going to recommend it. Sure, they\u2019re powerful, and sure they have a long run-time. But they\u2019re super noisy (your neighbors will hate you), and the exhaust has a very distinct smell (so you might go to work smelling like small engine exhaust).<\/p>\n<p>Skip the noise, the smell, and the hassle of starting up a gas blower by using a battery-powered electric model.<\/p>\n<p>And, not only that, they\u2019re unbelievably cheap to operate. Check out our look at electric lawn mower operating costs if you want to be blown away (leaf blower pun not intended) by how economical it is to charge and operate battery-powered yard tools.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/EGO-Power-LB7654-Variable-Speed-Lithium-ion\/dp\/B09RNDQCV3?tag=lsmedia-13058-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31mqC27MpUL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-title \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Shop for EGO Power+ 765 CFM 56V Leaf Blower\" aria-label=\"Shop for EGO Power+ 765 CFM 56V Leaf Blower\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/EGO-Power-LB7654-Variable-Speed-Lithium-ion\/dp\/B09RNDQCV3?tag=lsmedia-13058-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EGO_Power_765_CFM_56V_Leaf_Blower\"><\/span>EGO Power+ 765 CFM 56V Leaf Blower<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"product-features\">If you&#8217;re looking to leaf blow snow it&#8217;s tough to beat a powerful battery-powered model like this EGO Power+ option.
