    Where my in-laws live in northern Quebec multiple companies offer driveway snow removal services where they send a large tractor. On one end is a large (expandable) blade that they use to pull the snow down to the street and on the other end is an auger they use to throw it up into the yard. They come multiple times to allow you to move cars or just keep up with ongoing snowfall.

    I’ve never seen that anywhere else; is that a service in your area?

      Not that I’m aware of. There are a bunch of local contractors that will plow your driveway for a nominal fee, but my neighbor has a tractor with a snow plow attachment and thankfully dug out the driveway. That was Friday, and it snowed so much in between now and then that it took me 2 hours to use my snow blower today. And we don’t have a long driveway.
