We don't get much snow anymore. We used to get snow.
When we get snow DH will shovel when weather permits him to do so.
He does the same in the winter with leaves from all the trees. He will run the mower over the yard to mulch them when weather permits. He's already done that 3 times. It needs done again since all the leaves have finally came off the trees. It's too cold to do anything outside right now. It's 20° but feels like 9°.
That makes it easier for spring clean up.

Ours stopped but we will get another inch later, my DH shoveled and cleaned cars little while ago, said it was easy, very powdery here in MD.

I shoveled yesterday when we had about 5-6 inches already. I had it pretty well done. I knew we were supposed to get more later but they are not always accurate. I figured even if we did get more, there wouldn't be so much to do when it did arrive. So, later that day and into the night we got quite a lot more. How much? Beats me. I haven't heard and can't tell other than it looks like probably another 5 maybe? So, I will wait until around 8:30 today and start in again! Anyone who says --- Oh, I love snow and I miss it --- well, guess what --- you can have all of this!!!!!

Here in southern NJ when we get a big storm it's typically a nor'easter with lots of wind, so that means blowing snow and drifts. As soon as you shovel an area, the snow blows right back in. You pretty much have to wait until it's done and the winds have calmed down to make much progress.
My township has (maybe had) an ordinance that sidewalks had to be snow and ice-free two hours after a storm ends. So, if the storm ends at one AM, you had to have everything clear by 3 AM. I'm pretty sure they never enforced that rule and may have reworked it, but that was the rule for a while.

It depends on how much is predicted and how long it's going to snow. If it comes down all day, into the night; it makes sense to shovel or plow a couple of times during the storm so you aren't left shoveling all of it when the storm ends. You especially want to shovel out the cars.

And it's the ones who usually say that are the ones that don't have to drive in it.

For sure! And DH and I are not in the best of health and it's hard for us to keep digging ourselves out. A dusting is not bad but large accumulations are just horrible to deal with. And a lot of people just drive crazy no matter what the weather conditions are - makes it harder and more dangerous for the rest of us. Blessings and take care!

My husband did the driveway. I did the walkway. Still a lot snow everywhere. Piles of it from walkway to street. Yes the snow was nice powdery kind. Not that tedious to do.

4 inches or more We have a guy with a plow do the driveway..the car is in the garage..
DH is too old to shovel..and we don't go out much anyway.
If it's just a little DH pushes the shovel down to the mailbox and back..I'm not allowed to for medical reasons.
I love USPS informed delivery...some days there is nothing in the box..saves a trip down.
