Through two decades of living along a rural road (fortunately, no other driveways close to mine) I have learned:
1 - Plow so that my blade pile is to the left of the driveway as I face the road...the plow truck will not be putting that back into the lane.
2 - Scrape down a bit of the road on each side of the driveway so there is less the township truck blade when it does get to the driveway.
3 - MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL - since there will be some plowed back in, get out and remove it as soon as possible after the plow truck leaves. It will never be less compacted and easier to remove than at that moment.
BTW 1/2 inch in the lower Susquehanna valley of Pennsylvania.
Nothing here yet in North Central PA.
Maybe this one will miss us?
I finally found my gloves and went back out (I still had my truck running).
Where I shoveled there was an additional 2 inches.....so I reshoveled. 1/2 of the truck barely had any show, the other 1/2, including my front end and windshield had about 6-8 inches.
Cleared it all off, but I don’t think it will make much of a difference since the worst of it is supposed to come during the night.
Hopefully, my back and neck will hold out (so far, so good).
I did go past the driveway a bit, but I think the overnight snow is going to do me in!
Now it is time for an adult beverage!
