  1. As others have said, yes. Needed for emergency services, gas/oil deliveries, and sometimes likely also needed by USPS/FedEX/UPS if you ever order stuff online. If you were to lose power or internet, CMP or your ISP might need to park there to check your lines. Etc. etc.
  2. Hard to say exactly what the best approach is without seeing your house/drive, but assuming you're not getting it plowed, I would snowblow it. If that really requires moving your car, then you don't really have any choice but to move your car (not into the street unless you want it to get destroyed by a plow, though, just move it to a spot you've already cleared in the driveway). If there's some lawn space on either side of the car, you could also just snowblow offroad for a sec and go around the car.
  3. I don't think you'll be able to pay anyone to snowblow, but I'd ask a local plow guy to take a look at your driveway and see what they'd recommend. I suspect there's probably a way you could get it plowed without too much trouble... if you want it plowed. Personally, we just snowblow ours ourselves, it's a bit of a hassle but it's cheaper than paying someone to plow it, we get to control the schedule of when it's cleared, and it's a little exercise which is never a bad thing.
