How can I minimize the snow that gets plowed in my driveway?

If your driveway is cleared before the street is completed, clear the area to the right of the driveway if you are facing the house, (the oncoming side).  When the plow comes by the snow will dump in this clear area instead of your driveway approach.  The more snow you clear from this area, the less will be deposited at your driveway entrance.
