If I need to go somewhere and the plow dude hasn't shown up yet.. then shovel out to and around the car, the just enough to get in and out. (My back isn't what it used to be) Occasionally, if my landlords Airbnb is occupied I've had to clear their space as well (ok, didn't HAVE to but I felt bad and knew the plow guy wasn't gonna hit our spot again that night)

And idk what you mean about no snow until now... We've gotten snow since at least December this winter...
