Our driveway meets the main road on an outside curve. So the snow berm
tends to be a bit taller as the snow plow comes around the corner. Worse
yet, it becomes a big block of packed ice instead of light fluffy snow.
I've broken snow shovels trying to bust my way through that berm.

if i don't have to get out for any reason i'll
leave the last few feet of the drive alone until
they finally plow the second or third time. this
way they won't push so much snow into the end of
the driveway. (i.e. remove the pressure and the
flow will come in, so leave some snow and more
stays out).

for breaking up the frozen piles i have a nice
straight shovel made for trenching that will make
it into chunks to move.

sometimes it seems like they wait until i have
the drive clear before they come along and fill it
back in again... usually right after i get my
clothes changed and get into the middle of
something else.
