Snow removal around here
The road and your driveway get plowed by different people here. The county or the city clears the road, and the driveway is yours.
In a storm, the county sends graders and truck plows to each of its seven road maintenance areas. School bus routes and turnarounds come first, along with hills, curves, intersections and emergency routes.

Residential snow removal
If you hire someone to plow, the county's road rule applies to them too: the snow from your drive can't go onto the county road or its shoulders.
In town, the city has its own rules about where plowed snow can go.
