The usual weather pattern around here in winter is that it warms up to 20+ degrees, snows, and then "clear & cold" moves in behind it. The implication for the homeowner with a south-facing driveway is that, in order to take advantage of the sunshine, one must remove the snow as soon as it stops.
Ideally, one has a chance to get it off the drive before it gets all packed down by driving on it. But when it snows later in the day and keeps going into the evening, and you have plans to go see a movie...
and then if it falls on a weekend when your newspaper arrives early in the morning and the delivery person has an annoying tendency to drive in as far as they possibly can...
you wake up with packed snow to scrape off, and get all sweaty and sore and ornery before church. Grrr. Wouldn't you think the snowstorm could show a little consideration, start a little earlier, and be done by, say... 2PM?
On the bright side, it IS one way of getting to see the sunrise. :)

LOL, only in the snowy climes does one have to weigh the pros and cons of getting up at sunrise to shovel vs. later in the day. Luv, >^..^<
