In So MN, first off, like paul said, it is illegal to push snow onto or across any public highway. Answer to your first part, unless they asked specifically to come at that time, snow isn't blown until the storm has blown itself out, no need to do one job twice. As far as liability for plowing/blowing a public road. In the winter of '96-97, we had so much that the plows couldn't wing it out anymore. County hired farmers with blowers to blow shoulder to shoulder after the plow opened a lane. We were required to have our own insurance. It was quite a fiasco making sure the "right" type of insurance was in place. Normal farm liability didn't cover blowing for hire. Agent told me that a couple hundred feet in front of your own residence was considered OK. After being turned down by the ins company, then them requiring a specific policy with an upfront loaded premium ($1000 per year), they settled on covering us with a "blowing for hire" clause covering us up to $20,000 of income. Can't remember the additional premium, but it was reasonable. To be completely safe, check with your agent. Could stand a few more winters like that. $55/hour, every time it snowed was almost guarenteed 10-14 hours of blowing. For the months of Jan and Feb, there wasn't one week that school wasn't called off at least one day per.
