We sure do have a lot of similar weather here in Wisconsin, pard, and I agree about winter coming. We have probably moved into the second rainiest year in history for here, and if that keeps up into Winter, man we're in for it. So I put a cab on the John Deere, because it never seemed to matter if there was a breeze or not, since my driveway is an L shape, it didn't matter what direction you were going I always got covered with a blow back mist of snow, and by the time I was done I was covered from head to toe, glasses covered, could barely see, wet, cold... well no more of that... I'm going to be nice and dry and toasty now...
Snow removal here generally involves waiting until noon if the sun is out, or maybe a few swishes of the broom. Every once in awhile we do use the snow shovel we brought from north central Kansas to push a 4 inch high snow bank blown against the garage door off the driveway so it won't melt and refreeze making ice there.
Every once in awhile--like every 10 to 15 years we will get a substantial snow though even in those once-in-a-decade storms, it rarely gets much over a foot or so.
When we lived up on the mountain though it SNOWED! Snow up there was measured in feet, not inches, and two to three feet was not all that unusual. We shoveled it though our snow was very rarely the heavy wet variety but usually very light, dry, and airy. Evenso, if we had it to do again we would have a tractor or at least a snow blower.
