We expect that as part of the plowing process, as something that can and WILL happen. What I'm talking about is a plow that comes by a week later, after the snow banks have been converted into icebergs, and plows them all over the street, leaving 50-80 lb. boulders infront of our driveway and in the street, making driving impossible.

Now what if a plow dropped off a 2'x4' boulder in front of your driveway, and left 3'x3' obstacles on the street? Would you just smile an say "Thank you sir, I'd like some more!" or would you get a little mad?

Keep in mind that this was a week AFTER any snowfall.
I wouldn't be whining to other residents of New England about #^&#^&#^&#^&ing snow, or the plow drver. As far as I am concerned no one in Boston or its environs should be allowed to park on the street, but the #^&#^&#^&#^&ing city planners starting in the 1600's allowed all those houses to be built two feet apart leaving no space for the horse and buggy to be parked on the residents property. Go to Utah and see how the city streets in Salt Lake City are 60 feet from side to sife. They were laid out in the 1800's so a wagon could have enough room to do a U-Turn. No thats foresight.
