91 octane gas (no ethanol) will help,keep the carb free of deposits.
I typically used a single 10 litre gas can for an entire winter. This included being neighbourly and doing other driveways when people were away.
Electric start helps when it’s minus 30.
This one works well.... https://www.amazon.ca/Briggs-Stratton-1696619-Dual-Stage-Electric/dp/B00YMMCP8W/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=snow+blower&qid=1570844964&sr=8-7 —-Picked one up for my father in law. Trouble free for 3 years so far.
The craftsman 24-28 inch dual stage with the snow king engines are a great used value. I bought one and used it for 5 years and sold it for what I paid for it.
Its something like this, although not this exact model: https:https://www.amazon.com/Bigfoot-Telescoping-Shovel-Aluminum-Handle/dp/B00KWNL5DG/
These ergonomic snow pushers are good all-rounders. (But they do make bigger ones and ones that have wheels.) Doesn't matter, you want a pusher. That's going to chew through all of your loose white fluffy and/or gray and wet snow. That's like half the winter at least, and the sooner you get out there after each snowfall the easier it'll be so you can even push into ice storm territory.
But up north you're going to want to get something like this or even one of these for when you've got to break up crusty stuff that the pusher's just skating over.
It needs to be pretty flat, particularly if you're using thin flooring. Use a sidewalk scraper (looks like a hoe, but has a flat-edge,) and go over the floor. Unless you have a really aggressive adhesive like Mastic, you should be able to get it up.
Are you using the really thin flooring, or stuff that's thicker than 1/4"? You shouldn't have stuff sticking up from the floor that's more than around 1/16" in height. If you really, really can't get it up, consider pouring leveler to create a flat surface.

You can use calcium chloride pellets for drying. Same stuff that's in damprid.

Here are two examples of tools used to remove snow from the roof of semis. It's difficult to do, so companies made tools to make it easier.
I suggest you buy good quality winter gear over lots of winter gear.
my top favorites are my:
For staying warm at home / keeping the heating bill low I love:
for snow activities:
for hats, mittens, and gloves:
Those brands (LL Bean, Patagonia, Eddie Bauer) are well worth their price tag for longevity of the articles and their effectiveness (and with Black Friday coming up you can get excellent deals). For example, I have had my Bean boots just shy of 10 years before I finally pulled the trigger and bought some new ones. **also I suggest you look around local thrift stores for quality gently used products**
for your car:
a windshield cover, a decent ice scraper, and my personal favorite a snobrum. If you are unfamiliar with driving in snow an emergency car shovel like this would not be a bad idea either.
Sleigh shovel - You don't lift it so it's big and can clear driveways well. Low effort for high volume clearing.
Blade shovel - Less versatile than sleigh shovel and best for repeated clearings of flat areas. Good for commercial needs.
Classic shovel - For walkways and doorways. Get a mini one for your vehicle. Ow my back!
PS. homeowners probably also want to get a roof rake.

This is discontinued but you should be able to find it
You will still need a mounting kit
Hmm, might I suggest either a snow plow attachment:

and/or these:

Best I can do is $119,999.00. Do I have the job?

We recently purchased a Troy-Bilt 2100 and it's really nice. It's single stage, but the impeller is designed so that if you tilt it up slightly it will pull itself across the concrete. This also means you get a very close and clean plow on your surface. Personally, I would not purchase a 2 stage unless I lived further out in a rural area. You're not going to want to get a 2-stage out for a few inches, and a single stage gas will handle MOST everything you get except in very rare circumstances. https://smile.amazon.com/Troy-Bilt-Squall-208cc-Single-Stage-Thrower/dp/B00IOXIGN8
Our driveway is extremely steep, and this single stage is just fine for us (plus I wouldn't want to be pushing a 2-stage up that incline). The only issue we have had so far is the concrete mix that the plow left us yesterday, which we had to chop up a bit with a shovel first.
It's not that hard to safely remove those asbestos tiles. I wet the floor with a wet mop and used a sidewalk scraper to get them up. Most of the tiles came right up very easily without cracking. Most municipalities in my area just ask that you double bag them before disposal.
Of course you'll want to wear a proper respirator, tape up any areas where dust may escape into the rest of the house (ventilation ducts, doorways, etc), and clean up all surfaces really well afterwards. People tend to treat asbestos like it's radioactive. The risk of exposure can be nulled by being careful and following basic safety precautions.
You should get one of these, it's what I use on my E46. It has both a scraper end and a wide, sturdy, smooth foam brush end for sweeping snow off painted areas without scratching.

https://www.amazon.com/Fixed-Non-folding-Commercial-Wheeled-Shovel/dp/B00SBUTZ3Y . Looks like you need this. Not personally endorsed but looks pretty bitchin.
One of the best products I've ever bought, no hyperbole, was a SnoBrum (Amazon link). It can clean deep snow off your car/truck/van in under a minute.
The extending handle makes it up to 4ft long. Just push it across the hood/top/trunk (bonnet/boot), snow falls off the side, then pull it back; 2ft cleared each time. I would even clean off my co-workers cars real quick after deep snows.
Seriously, buy one if it snows where you live. Search for the best price. I've bought a few of them (had mine for 8 yrs or so, bought some for friends) and FYI the best ones have the black tightening knob-thing in the middle vs. the ones with the white ring. The black-knob ones hold tighter, but both are great. The picture Amazon shows might not be what they send you, be aware of that.
there is a bunch on amazon for pretty cheap. You have a choice between a electric shovel or an actual blower. The electric shovel should be fine for just your house.

Push broom won't work for me.
All access to the panels is from ground level.
I currently use this rake. It's 21 ft. I wish it could be longer but it would be unmanageable.
