JEFFERSON CITY - Once should be enough when it comes to shoveling snow out of your driveway after a winter storm. Unfortunately, that snow can end up re-deposited across your driveway entrance when snowplows begin to clear your street. The Missouri Department of Transportation has a simple solution to help you avoid a second round of shoveling.

Scooping snow about 10 feet away to the left of your driveway is the key.  This leaves enough room for a snow plow clearing your street to deposit the excess snow in the free area you created, thus keeping your driveway entrance clear.  MoDOT has prepared a video to demonstrate this snow shoveling secret.  See how it works at www.youtube.com/modotvideo.
