i guess what really gets me about this is, i live on a cul-de-sac. if the plow driver went clockwise instead of counter-clockwise around the circle, they would have great visibility on the left edge of their plow (vs. mailboxes, etc.) and they would be pushing the snow in towards the center of the circle - where nobody lives. maybe there's a compelling reason they don't do it this way, but i wish they would.
