Great response, CharlieZ :-)

Thanks for your advice. Of course i have to go out to work by car or bus! At least there are some options. Nevertheless, there is a major flaw in the city system, and if you and i can work around it, it does not make their wrong doing right.

It's that time of year. Snow is in the street. What do you expect the plow drivers to do? Should they skip your street or what? Their job is to clear the street so we can all drive more safely and emergency vehicles can get around as needed. Would you also be complaining if they didn't plow?

I'm tired of people who act surprised that there is snow on the sidewalk & in their driveway and that it can be a lot of work to clear it out. In general it appears to me that the plow drivers are doing the best they can to do their jobs to clear the streets and avoid any property damage. My hope is that the snow plows will do a better job of plowing curb to curb rather than just doing multiple passes down a single lane in the middle of the street.

Face it, you live in New England, snow is a fact of life here and you may need to clear your driveway several times everytime it snows. Just do it or hire someone else to do it or maybe move down south and find something new to complain about.

hahah, sorry but where are you from Florida?

Sorry you guys feel compelled to write comments that are so sarcastic, useless, judgemental and personal. Hope it makes you feel good about yourselves. I feel sorry for you guys. Yes, i am so different from you, I must come from another planet.

Nat, it makes no sense that you should be surprised that snow would land at the base of your driveway after the street is plowed. Where do you expect the snow to go??? The job of snow plows is the PUSH the snow to the sides of the street. Where is the base of your driveway? The side of the street.

Some people just don't think! They are angry when the streets aren't plowed, but then they get angry when the streets are plowed!!

Think about it, please.

..Post a pic now .Ah aha..I bet the snow has been pushed up onto the front porch,Curb and parts of the sidewalk are on Clinton Avenue..A do believe the owner would have 48 hours after the snow has stopped falling to clear their sidewalk.I think it as 48,not 24 but I could be wrong..Homeowners and caring tenants etc. will go out and clear it ,only to have a city plow or private contractor nail it back onto the walk..The plow needs to return and push it back a bit according to what I see in the pic - Frustrating I know , Some shovelers have been known to yell at the plow , throw their shovel at it ..

You are not suppose to throw the snow into the street

Yes, i was probably one of the first to do my duty, right after snow stopped, 8 am, so noone falls, so no ice builds up, putting the snow on my sidewalk, not the street, and that is sadly how good citizens are recognized. With Insults and lessons. Very sad indeed. Now, after work, i have to work again at it, and it's all frozen! It all makes sense. Thx Perkins elmer, for your support though.

Sigh... still people don't understand that there are two options: 1. streets don't get plowed, 2. streets get plowed with snow being pushed to the sides. This is PHYSICS, people.

When you're frustrated that your car has snow pushed up on it by a plow, or that the base of your driveway has snow on it after a plow has gone down your street, just consider the alternative --- the snow stays on the street.

The only way to "solve" this problem is to CHANGE THE LAWS OF PHYSICS. Think about it.

If you have shoveled the snow from your drive way into the street, than that is what will happen. The news stations have been announcing for people not to dump the snow into the street. The plow drivers have been employed to clear the streets not our driveways.
Be grateful at least your street gets plowed, I live on the corner of Pin St. & Pine Alley and Pine Alley has only been plowed by the city 3 times in the last 20 years. All the other times it has been cleared by 2 older gentlemen with there snow blowers.

This guy definitely did not throw his snow into the street , look at the piles to the side of the driveway

No, once for all, i did not put snow onto the street. I follow the rules. And i am closing this issue MYSELF now, because, there is obviously no way to have a conversation with most posters in this site. I 'll talk to Doug Hausladen in person.
