Hi,
Emptying the vacuum in blizzard conditions? Been there, done that. Have you considered taking the big plunge -- that is if you live in your own home -- and buying a good central system? The bagless versions require less frequent emptying and all things considered prices should be nice about now.
Of course it is a whole different ball game. You'd have to consider working with and storing a long hose but lots of nice advantages like unbeliable quiet are a possibility.
However, from the gist of what you've written, it appears obvious you'd prefer a regular vacuum. As long as it's affordable -- like you won't have to ditch your kid's college fund -- get a bagged vac you like and be happy. Just be sure to look for machines that offers good bag capacity.
Here again, "Don't sweat the small stuff" applies. We face enough really serious problems day to day. Albeit comfort, ease and feeling good always come with a price one way or anoither, why be irritated over something so small? There's a fix for it. So be good to yourself and buy it. There are other "fixes" far more expensive but of less worth

Thank you for the reminder....sometimes we need a refresh.
