I'm in SE PA. We have not had significant snow for a few years.
At one point we did get a lot of snow (before Covid) and our next door neighbor who had purchased a big snow blower came to do our driveway & walkway plus they had their three boys help to shovel.
So it was either last year or the year before that I purchased this Snow Joe TSV which was a TSV in the past for Christmas for DH. I figured for a few inches he could clear snow with the electric shovel but anything more we would have to hire someone unless our next door neighbor offered to help.
So far I think he took it out of the box to maybe try it out but it's really just been sitting.... buying it was good insurance to keeping snow away!
