We had that happen last February. We came home from WDW to find that a near-blizzard had happened the day before and a snow emergency had been declared -- which means there is NO onstreet parking at all and history has shown us that more than one car has been hit by a plow. So, in our town, you have no choice but to get into your driveway asap.
We come home to find a 6 foot high plow pile at the end of our driveway. And beyond that, there were 3-4 foot drifts IN the driveway. We only had shovels and none of our lovely neighbors apparently gave us a thought when they used their snowblowers to clear their own spaces out. It took the two of us nearly 6 hours (12 hours total) to clear to get into our garage.
I can assure you that if we'd had a snowblower, it would have been on and running. Don't like it? Then come over and volunteer to help shovel.
