Actually, that's not a bad idea. While it's not "optimal", that
approach has been used successfully elsewhere to give some "surge"
capacity for really nasty blizzards.

OB Food: It's a nice gesture to wave the snowplow driver down when they
finally do come through, and offer him or her a cup of hot chocolate or
a grilled cheese sando, or both. Since I started doing that, my mailbox
has not been clipped even once! (Maybe it's like the garlic vs. vampire
thing. I wonder what it would take to keep them from re-burying the
driveway entrance.)
