Mine's not so steep - but it is a hill (it raises perhaps 4-5 feet in 20 feet then levels off). It also opens to an alley, not to the street (luckily the guy across from us put up a steel-reinforced barricade so that if I do slip down the driveway in the car I won't hit his house.) Of course the house itself is on the valley wall - a coupla hundred feet down to the valley floor (Scranton City center) and about 40 feet up to the ridge line and Route 81. My office is then on a mountain top. So even if I do take all the effort to shovel out I may still not be able to go anyplace until the city does their bit.
