And the standard route on my street is a pass down the middle, with the plow directing snow towards my side of the street. A pass back the other direction to deposit <1/3 of the street snow into the driveways across the street. Another pass same as the first to bury my driveway with at least 2/3 of the snow from the street. They never seem to vary from that schedule, to make it worse, I'm on the south side of the street, so little to no help from the sun.
I started adding a 3 mile walk to my daily routine, and on the streets that the city doesn't clear the sidewalk, it's hit or miss on the depth of snow clogging the sidewalk. Some people are very good about keeping the sidewalk clear, others push the snow back about 5 feet from the driveway and leave a ridge across the sidewalk of the snow they pushed back. I will kick my way through those if the snow isn't ice, or just climb over.
Another fun fact, the Post Office will stop delivering the mail if you do not keep the mailboxes clear of snow. If you don't get out there ahead of them, they will pack 4 inches of snow into 3/8ths of an inch of ice. Unless you are on top of things, by spring there will be 6 inches of ice blocking the curb, keeping melt water from flowing to the storm drains.
Yah, is it spring yet then?
