Just don't cover the hydrants. In fact, be a good doobee and shovel out the hydrant nearest your front door. Fire Departments will sing songs of your deed.

And if there's a storm drain make sure that's uncovered too, when the snow melts it will need somewhere to go! Obviously not as much of an issue now because this was not much snow, but when we get a foot or more, it's pretty common for drains to get blocked by mounds of snow. There's one near my house that we learned the hard way to ensure it stays clear, because otherwise every basement on our side of the street floods when the snow melts.
