10. My driveway is on the upplow side of my property. :(

So what doesn't make it into my neighbor's driveway bounces off the drift at the mailboxes and into my driveway. Completely fills in the spot I shovel out for the garbage can to sit in on Thursdays. I want a beater car that I can attach a driveway wide bumper that goes down to a couple inches from the ground and extends up about three feet. Park it a couple inches into the driveway and have all that snow pushed down the street. Of course, it would probably pull the duct tape loose, shove the beater into my car and throw the bumper through my front window.

Yes, they do. Not as many as you'd think though. MineralMan Jan 2014 #2

I love it when they plow the alleys The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2014 #3

I know. Those ridges of snow, called "windrows" for some reason, MineralMan Jan 2014 #4
