You do you. Feel free to park near the street.

Shoveling is good exercise. Or you could hire a plow and pay for a gym membership (snarky comment).

A snowblower sounds appropriate for your driveway. It is rare to find someone to snowblow driveways and probably hard to find said person too, but possible. If you live somewhere there are condominiums or businesses with walkways that get cleared you could ask them who does the snow removal.

Some towns allow residents to take some salted sand from the road crew's stockpile for use on their driveway if you need any. Sanding has become more important than plowing with the ice storms.
