Waking up to a storm You open the door. Eight inches of snow covers your driveway. You’re already late for work. Shovel? Call out? Wait for the sun? Or pay someone to clear it? That’s the real decision: is snow plowing worth the money? How much does snow plowing cost? Most companies charge in one of three ways: Per plow  – you’re billed each time a truck comes by.
