Okay, here's the deal.

I bought a house this last May. My first ever. Yay me!

It sits up on a hill, with a long enough driveway that I am starting to wonder about this winter. The driveway is poured concrete.

I do know that my method of snow removal probably shouldn't be a dump truck full of rock salt. I think that is supposed to be bad for your concrete. I know there is no way I'm shoveling it clear. And parking on the street is not an option. My property is a pie shaped wedge, and I only have a little curved portion that is what would be considered "my" place for street parking. If I parked there, it would block my mailbox.

I'm thinking about a snow blower. But I know jack about them.

Anyone have one? What are things I want to make sure I have if I get one? I looked at them in the Lowes ad yesterday, and my eyes glazed over.
