I would be pretty upset. A bunch of my neighbors have had their mailboxes plowed through. (this has happened in past years and today I saw three downed ones from this storm in <1 mile on my very rural road). My mailbox is not easy to plow but it’s not also got a huge snowbank in front of it now, so I put a big plastic tub out with a sign on it asking that the mail and packages go in the box.
I had my driveway plowed by a neighbor with a tractor a couple years back. The driveway was pretty bad but he tore it up worse. This summer I paid 12k for help and machinery and gravel and spent many hours fixing up my driveway - It could have been a lot worse if I hadn’t done some of the labor. So I won’t plow it with a tractor now… for better or worse.
I have cleared a parking spot at the bottom of my driveway for now and even though it’s very very scary and hard to walk up and down - at least I have a car I borrowed to get to work. I hope your wife was able to get back up the hill!
