Wayne will plow multiple times during a snowstorm so you will be able to get in/ out. We also have shovels and sand (in buckets) by the entrance door (under the deck) and near the shed. There’s enough parking for 3 cars in the driveway and additional cars at the Chic Shed. If you need storage for your canoes, snow mobiles or other sporting equipment please let us know.
