Any chance you can talk to your plow guy about your driveway not being a priority on the route for a somewhat reduced rate? If you do not “need” to get out at a certain time that may save you a little $.

Regarding plowing, my buddy plows our driveway in MA for free, so I can’t complain about the job he does, he’d tell me to get lost if I did[emoji12].

I always fire up the snowblower after he is done to tidy up. Even the best plow guy usually leaves a little bit of cleanup to be done, unless they have shovelers with them.

I actually enjoy snowblowing so the clean up is fun, and I feel like the beer after tastes just a little better.
