Message: <blockquote data-quote="snowyowl" data-source="post: 1399514" data-attributes="member: 4177">Snow here and snow for you are very different situations, I think.    We have lots of snow plows, blowers etc so that main roads are usually quickly cleared.    For you it is much tougher to dig out.     I wonder how many of you even own a snow shovel?     I remember the snow in London back in the late '40s.    Fun for a kid but otherwise quite a mess.Sharon and I each had meetings to attend last night so we had to take two vehicles.     I had made sure that all of the snow was cleaned up so didn't expect any problems getting out.   I drove out to the road and found that the snow plow had been by and filled the end of the drive with snow about 70 - 80 cm deep and pushed up the driveway about 13 m..    I had the big 4x4 truck so no problem but I was concerned that Sharon might have trouble in the small car.    To cut the story short, she got out ok but I was concerned about her getting back in because it's a bit uphill plus turning in forces a slow approach.    I got home about 9:30 PM and walked out to the end withn the snow blower.    It took about 20 minutes to remove the snow dumped by the plow but at least then I didn't have to worry about Sharon getting stuck.</blockquote>
