LOL I shoveled my 70 meter driveway today because I had the day off work and wanted to get out and enjoy the sunshine, and I have a skidsteer parked in the garage. Hopefully OP has figured out their dilemma and realizes a vast majority of Vermonters are able to be self sufficient in all expected conditions, like sugar storms in mid March. Keeping fuel tanks full, having water and dry food on hand, shovels, generators, firewood, et all are standard operating procedures for winter in VT. Also, getting out and trying goes a long way, I had two guys stop when they saw me shoveling to see I wanted them to swipe the driveway.
