We had a record snowfall here in 1999 right at Christmas. 11.5 inches was the official total, but the drifts were to the top of our chain link fence. Our driveway was just buried.
Our garage is on the side of our house, and there is a huge parking area that allows us to pull up, and reverse easily. We can park three SUVs there and still get in and out of the garage. Just a lot of concrete to shovel.
My wife and I worked on clearing the white crap from the driveway for most of a day. We saw the couple next door had hired a guy with a bobcat to clear their driveway and path to the street. I flagged him down.
There was a drift easily 5 feet deep and clear across our two car wide driveway right at the street. It was a total road block. It would have been a real challenge to shovel it. The bobcat moved it to the yard in minutes and he said no charge as he was only there for minutes. I insisted he take 20 bucks for 5 minutes of work. He saved me a ton of shoveling.
