I don't see a good solution that is going to be cheap. A utility tractor with a snowblower and a power broom would be a great setup. Depending on the overall size of the driveway, a Kubota BX or Deere 1025R would be reasonably priced as these are often up for sale used. Tire chains are a must.

Our driveway is large- long and steep with a big open area at the top. I use a Kubota LX3310 CAB with rear blade and swap back and forth between a front snowblower and power broom. We live here though, so its easy to justify the expense. If you are only going out twice a month, for a few months only, it seems extreme.

Good pavement and sun will keep it down, but the snowbank that can develop at the entrance will grow if not knocked open between storms.
