When we lived in northern Idaho, the snow plows had a wing they would drop when going by a driveway to keep the snow from filling in. It was really nice. Even the big graders had them. No such thing in Wisconsin. The berm at the end is not only higher than the snowfall but usually hard as rocks so you hve to use a metal spade to get thru it. I'm really looking forward to sand at the end of the driveways and not snow...Soon Come.
