I thought of your father when they showed the Iowa snowstorm on the news.............I remember those "snow gates" where they'd shut down certain highways in the winter time......Iowa and Nebraska?
Those states are so flat, that I can imagine the blowing snow presents a hazard. Iowa is one of my very favorite states. Just beautiful.
As far as the "snow removal service".........just do it.
They'll show up........he might balk a little bit at first.....
However, you will have "peace of mind"........I would.

Vermont resorts open for skiing. We finally got our snow with more to come on Christmas Day.
The snow will continue until the end of the week.............winter has returned.
It's a "winter wonderland" here today....just in time for Christmas. Just glad those wind gusts are over. Our town had power outages, huge trees down on top of cars, parts of houses flying through the air.....(roof shingles, shutters, decorations, siding, you name it.......it was aireborne).
24 degrees is normal for this time of year.........it's been too warm up until now. Spring will be here before we know it.
