O'Fallon's snow crews clear more than 700 lane miles of roads and 1,100 cul-de-sacs, passing more than 25,000 homes along the way. When there is snow on the street, the plows have to push that snow to the sides of the streets. 

What ends up happening is that snow can get pushed up near driveways causing a long line of snow - called wind row - lining the street. This may make it difficult to get out of your driveway, and with the amount of snow we received this time, 2+ foot piles of snow along the sides of streets will not be unusual. Although we know that this might be frustrating for residents, we hope you understand that this is impossible to control. There is no way for our crews to clear the streets without pushing the snow to the sides, meaning the homeowner has to shovel it away from the end of the driveway. The only way to prevent this would be to not clear the streets!
