No, the plowing is just a seasonal moonlighting job for him. I found a company that does it, though, and they'll be sanding/salting the driveway today. Part of the problem we have is that there are evergreen trees on either side of most of it so between that and the angle of the sun this time of year it's shaded most of the time.

If you find someone that will sand your driveway be sure they don’t use the inexpensive all-purpose or masonry sand. They aren’t as gritty as playground or sandbox sand, and it’s the grittiness you need to provide traction. Another alternative would be to apply magnesium chloride pellets to your driveway before the ice comes. It’s safer because you can apply it when the surface isn’t icy, and it gives off heat when coming in contact with ice.
I'm at the office and will be while they do this so, unfortunately, can't be there to supervise. My driveway is about 425 feet long and the ice is already there which is why I'm having a sand/salt mix. Most years it isn't a big deal but we've been having warmer than usual days with rain or snow melt followed by cold ones so the ice is an issue.
I'm surprised Ms. Mod has an ice problem at all..with all the hot air she _______...................

That's one long driveway. A sand/salt mix is good, and should do the trick.
Ms. Mod should just shorten her driveway............
You're welcome!
You're welcome!
Or be in Arizona this time of year.

I wonder who caught that pic of my SO?I thought it was this guy...
JUST KIDDING!! Yikes, cue the banjoes.
Ms Mod should stop shoveling the driveway and just get a Zamboni. Turn the driveway into a skating and hockey park.
Hmmmm....might rake in a few bucks for the retirement fund. Or more likely car repairs after my insurance company cancels my policy after the second or third time I end up driving into the trees.
