I only have one neighbour and that is across the street. An elderly man 
with his mother who looks to be in her 90's. They have someone who 
eventually comes along and plows out their long driveway. I always 
wonder though what they would do in the event of an emergency, so when 
cleaning my mess I go across the street and remove the street plow row, 
thinking at least nothing will get hung up there.
