I think high efficiency furnaces with their air intake and exhaust pipes are more likely to suck in Calgary type powder snow during snow fall or flurries. This is a problem if those pipes are somewhere they can't warm up to the ambient temperatures indoors and you like using the HVAC fan to balance out the temperatures.
I wonder if in some cases, increasing the height of these pipes from 3-4 feet off the ground outdoors to something like 5-6 feet off the ground could help reduce the odds the intake clogs up by sucking in random stuff blowing around in our normal weather situations.

Electrical shop calling in a furnace guy? Phfff, what is this world coming too.
Some respect restored if you jump started the unit. Extra credit if you managed to turn it up to 11.
