Well I happen to have lucked out with my winter rental. There is a guy who comes and plows and shovels.

On a side note, I'm finding out the best way to find out about local services is to talk to the local people. Hardware store and diner are great resources. Loving life in Wolfeboro.

Yes the local hardware store keep would likely know who plows in the area.

BTW, the original request was for snow blowing. It would be unusual for someone to offer that service except for a close by neighbor as to go any distance a trailer would be involved. The more common service is a person with a plow truck.

There are more people running around in the winter with a snowblower in the back of their pickup truck than you think.

I use to snow blow drives for over 8 years. I had a 48" blower and had so many driveways I had to stop taking them in. I was able to charge more the the plow guy as the driveway was done a lot neater and one could do right up to the garage doors and the front walk so the customer was willing to pay more. No shoveling as that was extra. The average drive use to take me just under 1/2 hour and I got $50 for a 14'x50' drive up to 8" deep and then the price went up accordingly to depth and time. All customers were within 5miles of each job.
