Snow Shovels are used as "Dust pans" when sweeping up leaves and for several other uses, Thus they get used all over, SNOW BLOWERS, on the other hand.........
I'm in Oconee County, SC, Fairplay (3 miles from GA on i-85) Or Seneca (about 20 miles north of where I am now) and the temp last night hit 32 on my meter, 20's on in-accuweather's My hose lit up (Frost protetion lamps) and we had no problems.
I would not wish to be farther north, or higher altitude.. In fact some places south freeze up. Can recommend a park near Darien GA if you like too, About 350/month as I recall (NOTE: Do not trust that, check it out) Cathead Creek Ranch RV park (Townsend ga) 3 miles from the Darien outlet mall.
