Problem:
* Many people find their driveways blocked with snow after a snowplow has passed. This happens as the plow pushes accumulated snow into the opening of the driveway.
Solution: The “Snow Pocket” Method
* What it is indeed: Shovel an extra 10 feet or so to the left of your driveway (parallel to the road).
* Why it works: This creates a space for the snow accumulating on the plow to be released into, instead of being forced into your driveway. The plow’s snow has a place to go.
What if you can’t use the trick?
* if you don’t have time or plows come from both directions, remove the snow blocking your driveway quickly and safely.
