We’re talking about shoveling the driveway, not the highway.

And sometimes its a very good idea. If you wait until there are 30" on the ground, you’re going to break your back shoveling it. But if you go out and clear the driveway and walkways every few hours, when there is 3-4" of accumulation, the work can be bearable.

This is especially important if you use a snow blower, since they have a maximum capacity. (My electric unit can’t handle more than about 10" without getting bogged down.)
