Hi Max
Snow ploughing isn't an exact science.....wet snow being heavier...dry snow at colder temperatures,lighter...so a foot of wet snow at 32 Deg F would be much heavier than a foot of snow at -20 F...and much lighted ..
But a foot either way would probably be the limit...but then it is never "Exactly" a foot evenly spread....

Drifts of a couple of feet for a short couple of feet could be moved ,at least pushed a side..
I think that would be a good jag for a CMP with a plough on it...Probably less with the wing down..
