24. Now that I've done all this work, the plow will probably just set me back

I cleared my driveway, about 5 feet of street on one side, and a good 10, or so, on the other. HOPEFULLY that will mitigate how much is there for the plow to deposit at the end of my driveway. Honestly, at this point I'm hoping they give us a miss.
