We have a situation similar but the town isn't changing the status on our road.
First if the frontage of your house uses the current road then it is in fact a road.
If your road frontage is on an existing road then they can opt out of responsibility.
But to the best of my knowledge and this info came from our surveyor, a town cannot discontinue a road and turn it into a right of way if your deed considers it as road frontage.
Also I do snow plowing in the Laconia area and would be happy to look at and give you an estimate on your plowing needs.
