What if it doesn't get below freezing outside?
A lot of snow falls when the temps are in the 30's. It can be wet and
heavy.
My snow clearing tools (shovels, ice breakers, and car brooms) stay
outside all winter.


If it's not below freezing, you might consider letting the snow melt
instead of shoveling it.

You don't live in the northern US, do you?
Let's wait for the snow to melt, in the meantime, keep driving your car
in and out of the driveway, packing the snow down to glacial consistency.


I used to live outside St. Paul, about the coldest nastiest area in the
continental U.S. Much harsher winters than New England, for example. I
never saw my driveway, nor sidewalks, nor most streets, for five months
of the year. We walked and drove on snowpack. No big deal. The glacier
melts in the spring.

Nope, I don't live in that **** anymore. That's just plumb crazy.
