I'm in the burbs and I gave up. The mounds around my driveway and sidewalk were so high between the snowfall and pay shoveling that I couldn't even throw the snow high enough to get over them. There was nowhere to put it but the street, which of course I didn't do.

That winter it got too high for the snowblower to throw the snow over. We had to take stepladders and shovel about four feet off the top and push it down the backside so that the snow didn't just tumble back down onto our parking spaces.

We shoveled our yard to make space before the third storm. There was no room along the driveway.

The way the lot was configured we were dumping the snow into the side neighbor's back yard, but they were cool with it.

The house behind us threw a fit that snow was getting thrown from our driveway into her yard. It was stupid too because they paid someone to clear their driveway so there was a giant mound of snow that the plow had pushed to the end of their driveway and our snowblower was putting it just over the fence but well behind that mound.
