Since it's that time of year for certain areas of the country to get snow I thought I'd ask what is everyone preferred method to handle snow removal?

I use my Single Stage Toro snowthrower and shovels to handle the snow, in fact have always used single stage Toro snowthrowers but at times I do think about a larger two stage machine. I like that my Toro is light, easy to maneuver, and can really handle most types of snow even if it's over a foot high but the smaller machine means more passes to cover the same ground and End of Driveway after plowing can be hard for the machine to handle.
