I realize this is their problem but I do not want to have to deal with chipping 3 or 4" of ice like I did last year. My passive aggressive approach will be to blow the snow from their sidewalk onto their driveway...
2) The city was kind enough to plow our street once last year. The did this in one pass which resulted in hard packed snow at a higher level than our driveway, which cause some interesting moment when the thaw came. A snow blower will prevent the massive piles of snow at the end of my driveway.
3) I want all the snow from my driveway on the street. There were massive patches of dead grass on my lawn this summer from road salt that fell off my truck and was shoveled onto the lawn.

Just a note on this, if the snow you were to put on the street caused problems for someone else, I am pretty sure you would be liable.
