I would ( and already have) buy a good gas snowblower. Moving snow takes a lot of power. My ariens goes through heavy wet plowed up snow like butter. The neighbors other brands, not so much. In fact they all own ariens now. More horsepower is better.
As far as wet snow, you need to clean it up asap if it is going to be below freezing after the storm. If it will be warm ( above freezing) you have some time, but the colder it gets, the less time you have to move it before it freezes into a big block. That said, it takes more energy to move heavier, wet snow.
