We live in the country so cleaning snow off the driveway is just a part of life. Hubby has a tractor with a loader and two snowblowers but usually waits till it is done snowing to clean out. I am retired now so don't have to get out every day. If it gets too bad we wait it out until the wind and snow settles down. We don't have livestock anymore so that simplifies the job a lot - just the yard and quarter mile long driveway to clean out. And living in the country a 4-wheel pickup is almost a must.
