While both serve the same purpose, a snow plow may be the better option if you have either a very long driveway or a driveway with a curved design. The longer you run a snow blower, especially if the snow is heavy or wet, the more you risk things like chute or auger clogs and running out of gas. And while some snow blower models have pivot-turn controls, it can still be difficult to use one with sharply angled or deeply curved driveways. A truck or lawn mower-mounted plow can clear snow quickly without the risk of clogs or running out of fuel, and they're easier to maneuver.
