Most people have lawnmowers in summertime. We had to hire people to come clear out the snow out of the-- half block street to back yard -- driveway we had. Think I mentioned one night in just a 3+ hour stop at friends, we came out to find over a yard of snow that was to the car door handles. Luckily for us that night, it was powder like snow, so we could drive home. The Corvaire was built for snow like that, with the rear engine.

Heck, in Juneau it snowed very often, and deep. There was a cottage industry of pickups with snowblades that would clear your driveway and many people, like me, had snowblowers. I struck a deal with my neighbor. He used my snowblower and cleared both driveways if I didn't beat him to it. Sounds like a case of the lazies to me. they do not shovel out the driveways in winter as it snows very often. Most times they only clean out enough to park the car
