Shoveling Tip to Stop Snow From Blocking Your Driveway
After a snowstorm, you may find you have already shoveled your driveway, just to have it plowed in again once the snowplow comes through.
However, there is a way to clear your driveway and avoid the dreaded "second shovel".
Clear a 10 ft area to the right of your driveway, which would give the snow on the plow a place to go other than your driveway. This should keep you from having to do the same shoveling job twice.
Check out the below diagram for a look at how you should shovel. Here is a video published by the Virginia Department of Transportation that also helps to describe this technique:
