    Boy would I love for someone to invent a way to plow streets without plowing in my driveway right after I've dug it out.

        @Atul_Gawande I remember those days in Boston. Think of it as a free workout.

        @Atul_Gawande one trick I do is to clean a bit of road left of my driveway. It helps reduce the pileup at top of driveway.

        @Atul_Gawande pipe dream. Waiting for the plows to be gone doesn't work because are paid hourly to lurk...

        @Atul_Gawande Cory Booker's crowd has put plow GPS data out there. Others created a map showing real time location of plows.

        @Atul_Gawande helps a little if you pile the snow on the down-stream side of the driveway, but I hear ya.

        .@Atul_Gawande trick is to shovel after the truck comes, not before. And of course you have to kill the sidewalk plow guy.
