  How to Buy a Snowblower - eHow.com
As you may have guessed, two-stage snowblowers are significantly heavier than their one-stage cousins—up to 100 pounds for a gas-powered model, compared to as little as 10 pounds for a single-stage electric.
If your reason for buying a snowblower is physical disability, you might be better off paying someone to clear your property rather than push or carry a huge, heavy blower around the yard.
Gas-powered, two-stage snowblowers can be as noisy as commercial construction equipment, so if you have tetchy neighbors, try to find a relatively quiet model (you can usually find the decibel level on the box; if not, ask a salesperson).

 Auger snowblower - Patent 4869003
An auger snowblower having outwardly disposed blowers and horizontally mounted dual augers rotating to move snow outwardly to the blower inlets is disclosed.
Snowblowers having outside mounted multiple blowers are not previously known in that the prior art teaches movement of snow along the auger toward the center where a single snowblower discharges the snow.
The snowblower of that design does not utilize multiple blowers located to the outside of the auger and the Guy invention teaches the conventional auger arrangement which transports the snow to the center for introduction into the snowblower instead of outwardly toward outside-mounted blowers.

 Halfbakery: Snowblower Salter
Here in the wintery part of the world, snowblowers do the trick of clearing snow very well, but there is always a bit left over which makes slipping a danger--usually throwing some salt on those areas will melt the ice and all is well.
Salt is very much used on an "industrial scale"; it's only the little guy using the hand-push snowblower to clear his (her) sidewalk that doesn't get the benefit of combined salt/sand/plow/blow snow management.
The salt-scattering snowblower may not be a good deal for people who only wish to clear a driveway-sized area.

Near as I can tell, a snowblower works by using an auger to scrape snow toward a central input, and then using a fast-rotating impeller to blow it out the top discharge.
