While our crews are out during and after this snowfall, keep in mind this shoveling tip: Clear snow at the end of your driveway in the direction of traffic. Additionally, clear a few feet from the edge of the curb to the left side of your driveway as you face the road to prevent snow from being plowed back to your driveway when a snowplow passes.
