We got 28" last Saturday. I've got to say that it may be the most in a single fall, but we've had close before. There are 9 houses in our neighborhood, between myself and a neighbor with a Bobcat,mew always push the snow, and often the street as we are forgotten by the State.
Neither of us have anything but our front buckets for snow, never had a problem. Yep, it takes longer to move 28" than it does to move 10". That is simply a matter of mass.
If you haven't been around operators, or are new to it, you'll likely try to teaspoon it away, take a bucket, move it over, repeat 1,000 times. That will take you forever. Good advice above, plow through until your machine can take no more, back up, start pushing it off diagonally until you get to the first pile, move it, repeat, you'll find your done pretty quickly. I actually raise the bucket, cut the pile in half and start pushing it diagonally.
Unless you're plowing state roads, or receive more than 30" of snow on a regular basis, you already have all the snow moving equipment that is necessary.
That said, I will likely get a snow blower for mine, because he who dies with the most toys wins!!
