Actually, I think it's an EPA regulation here in NH that says that if you move snow off your property, it instantly becomes a hazardous waste issue requiring a ton of paperwork to be able to dispose of it. So plowing across the road could get extremely expensive before you even consider Department of Transportation or Safety regulations. That's also one of the kickers that encouraged me to get my own tractor when the yahoos doing the plowing one year said they needed to bring in a bucket loader to clear the drive when they got their truck stuck and were going to have to charge me extra. I told them to stuff it and proceeded to shovel the quarter mile drive with my two teenage sons helping me. (Yeah, I am one stubborn, prideful SOB - and also in better shape than 95% of the guys my age.)
Been a lot of wet heavy snow this year. FEL has been a God-send. Actually bent the uprights on my Bobcat 3-point backblade pushing a bank back. Had to take them off, heat and untemper them, hammered them back into shape on the anvil, reheated and quench hardened them, repainted and reinstalled this past weekend. Come spring I'll probably pull them off and weld some angle iron to them to stiffen them up more.
