He got within 5 feet of the garage and pulled that snow back---even in that area he got it clean down to the asphalt!

So the comments above by Hillcountry are correct, and it is possible to do a good job even in adverse conditions and even when the snow has to be pulled back. ***Thanks for educating me about the art of snowplowing!

As an aside I'd like to say that there are a lot of low-income senior citizens living alone who can't afford anything near what most charge for plowing. There is a need in the Lakes Region for home and property maintenance services for this population. I've been shoveling by hand for years. I'm well past the age for doing that.
That's great! I hope he keeps up the good work.
