Heck, you could have hired a teamster with a plow for less than that.
Don’t you have a blower, or wouldn’t that have been any good in that kind of snow?
I have a power shovel that is worthless for that much. So I bought an 18” 15amp snow thrower, that’s being delivered today, and justified buying it with the $150 I saved not hiring the illegals. Plus the driveway here at the new house is a huge double lane circular drive plus a straight lane to the garage so I really need one anyway.
