Where I live they plow the street with a couple graders, and follow up with a front end loader that clears the snow bank created over driveways, but only on front street driveways, and never well.

    Rookie mistake doing it before the plow comes by.

    Hot shot over here with a reliable plowing system in their city which they can even plan around!

    Legally you have 24 hours after the snow stops snowing to clear the sidewalk, driveway doesn’t NEED to be done, but it gets done so it’s not a future issue.

    I have the benefit and downfall of being on a bus route, so it gets plowed pretty fast. Anything without a bus doesn’t get plowed at all, playground roads are the last priority.

    They even have a resource page

    They even have routes that they can declare temporary parking bans in to clear snow better if it gets THAT bad.

    Check your local requirements! Where I live, you have until 10 AM to clear sidewalks if the storm ends by 10 PM the night before or 10 PM if the storm ends by 10 AM the same day.

    I actually read a tip on here shovel the snow in the direction of the plow before it comes.

    Leaving the snow creates a “barrier” so less snow gets pushed back in.

    I’m in the party of doing it a couple times during the snowfall so it’s not so much all at once.

    Just life sometimes like hitting you over the head.

    Rookie mistake not shoveling it down the street

    Just pile another wall of snow up right infront of the garage door, then fill the cavity with water, wait for it to freeze and now you have a mini ice hockey rink in your drive way 😃

    Sometimes the city, county and state all have trucks out at the same time doing different roads. Like all roads in the history of roads, they are interconnected but each jurisdiction only plows their own roads. So the city drives to my neighborhood on county roads with the plow up on snow covered roads.

    I can drive around my plowed neighborhood now, but can't get out onto the county road, and there's a huge snow bank at the end of the city road.

    Still looks very clean. Just have to dry it off a bit.
