Well as others have already pointed out, it depends on where you live. No doubt a blower is nice, but for me it would be a very expensive single purpose luxury that might benefit me once every 4-years in slight time savings.
For me in SW Ohio, The loader bucket and my box blade are my tools of choice when we get really deep snows which happens only very rarely. Would a blower be more efficient? Sure but not worth the expense for me since I would actually need it so rarely. I also have a regular blade but trying to plow with an angled blade can be an issue on a lightweight tractor so I prefer the box blade. Basically plow with the loader bucket going forward and the box blade when going in reverse for double productivity. Of course this method dictates the travel pattern be either a herring bone or series of Y-patterns which works fine for my areas, but would be less than efficient on a long lane.
Rarely do I even fool with plowing anyway unless I am totally snowed in - simply let the sun melt it down for me most times.
