I’ve read that a few people use their rear blade reversed for snow. If that is what you do, do you reverse the cutting edge? I have to assume so, but no idea.
Reverse the rear edge for snow … did you reverse the cutting edge

I haven't actually used it yet, (first year with new blade, fresh snow, ground not frozen yet) but I have no intention of flipping the cutting edge around. (I do already have the blade flipped around....getting ready) Seems like an awful lot of work for not much (any?) reward.
If there's a valid reason, I might do it, but I don't know of one.
Yes, I am a newb, so give other replies more weight.
Interesting question nonetheless.

Rotate the blade and pull it backwards. You can also shorten the top link in order to allow the cutting edge to better glide over the surface.
I have a gravel drive and plow like this until it freezes, then I spin the blade back around and use it normally.

I never turn the cutting edge around. It will drag the snow just fine in reverse
