Here is a picture of a machine that probably could do it, although it was designed for use on railroad tracks:

This picture was taken at the St. Louis Museum of Transport.

Back in about 1950 an entire gang of track workers were chopped up in a rotary plow like the silver engine picture above on Donnar Pass, California. The snow banks were so high they could not climb out.

David G needs to chime in here. I know he has posted photos of early snow removal equipment on www.theoldmotor.com (if I remember the site address well enough). I seem to recall one from 1929 at least, a real monster.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
