The main reason is twofold, the first plowing sets like concrete so you are not moving it after a day or so and if you try you ARE going to break something. The second reason is tied to the first, when the next storm comes where are you going to put the snow? You can't push it back over the first pile and you can't push the first pile without damage. Then the next, and next and next storms. See what I am saying? You always need to plan for more snow and leave room for it wherever possible. That said, doing the last pass you HAVE to be aware of peoples property along the road since you are on the right of way which in most cases is also their front yard. Mailboxes and paper boxes included.
