How the hell

Back in the days when I dealt with significant snow, I had a very good technique for dealing with the driveway being plowed in. I'd always try to get out with the snowblower before the plow came and I would clear my driveway, as well as a hundred feet or so along the road on the inbound side of the driveway. The plow would come along plowing in everyone's driveway, but as it approached mine, since I had already cleared back, by the time it got to my driveway it wasn't pushing much of anything. SWMBO thinks I do this because I just like playing in the snow! Of course if the plow showed up while I was doing this I'd just play chicken and make him go around me. Whenever it was a new driver they'd be a bit annoyed, but after a time they'd figure it out. On the metalworking and welding subject, one time I caught a rock in the blower and it broke the 2nd stage impeller off the shaft, so I had to bring it in the shop, clear out the snow and weld it back on.
