The standard square point dirt shovel is best for snow, it will also chop
ice. It won't break your back either. The big blade snow shovels work
fine
with 1/2 inch of snow, but are nearly useless with a 2-3 foot drift.
Not that I have had to shovel much snow here in NC, but I did living near
Lake Erie, long ago.

I like the new snow shovels with the funky handles that allow you to work
standing up straight. I have a very bad back, (two unsuccessful surgeries)
so that is the first consideration!
A spud bar and a flat scraper is what I use on ice.

Best of all, in NC, if you wait one or two days, 90% of the time, the snow
will remove itself!

I bought a snowblower attachment for my string trimmer. I looked at thing
in the store, and thought that can't possibly work- it looks like a toy. To
my surprise, it is fantastic for light work. I have a 150 ft driveway with
a 20% slope, and I've done the whole thing in a few minutes with up to 4" of
snow. I was amazed at how well it worked.

Which model is that?

That is true around here in the Puget Sound area, too! Actually, our
weather is often compared to that of Atlanta, GA, only not so hot in
the summer. We get more rain, especially last year. :-)
