Reply to comment by G1naaa in How do yall clean snow off your cars when parked on the street? by G1naaa

A lot of the streets out here are simply too narrow for plows to get through.

My best advice is: shovel the snow anywhere the wind blows, get yourself two plastic chairs to put in your space as you're leaving, and then don't leave — just defend the spot with your life. Forever.

Jokes aside, it's an actual shit show out here when we get any shovel-able snow on the ground. Best thing to do is forget you have an automobile, eat the drugs you were smart enough to buy in advance of the storm, and then go sledding with everyone at the art museum steps.

You're not wrong, but aside from accounting for plow and truck sizes, you also have to account for snow displacement. So, can the plow truck PHYSICALLY fit? Sure. But plowing in an entire street of cars just so the ingress and egress is clear hurts more than it helps. There's a BIG difference between shoveling 2 feet of fresh untouched snow and a foot of hardened, packed death powder.
