Tell your Neighbor that what they did was so low, but You'll take the high road and clean it up with your new Snow Joe, But, if it happens again, for Chhristmas they'll be getting coal with a bow, and the Santa on this side of the fence won't be going "Ho, ho, ho"

The best answer to the question is to carefully study both your property and neighbor's property. Figure out the areas that need to be cleaned, and decide the best places for snow. In studying the snow, it is wise to examine melting patterns. As I live in a desert, I like the fresh snow to melt into the soil. I want salty snow, from the street, to melt into the gutter. It my area, it is illegal to throw snow onto the city street. So, I have things designed with a location to pile the salty snow that drains back into the city gutter. Having figured out where to put the snow, invite the neighbor into the conversation about the best places to pile snow. A conversation about the best place to put the snow generally works better than an argument about cleaning the snow. PS: here is a picture the 6' high pile of snow at our house. http://protophoto.com/picture.html?pic=13396 Kevin Delaney - Salt Lake City

You could just send it flying back his way, or when he leaves for work: 1. Gather up the rogue snow 2. Make snowman 3. Make smiley face on snowman 4. Attach note to twig hand of snowman that reads: "I'm baaaack." I know it's a lot of work, but I guarantee it gets the point across.

I think I would get out the new Snow Joe start her up and pretend I'm riding her like a bull - hooting and hollering like a crazy person. Then I would do my driveway and sidewalks and stop right at the property line, just like neighbors with a snowblower and yelling "thanks for the help Joe" and patting the snowblower like a pet. PS. my neighbors name is joe.

I would get my kids and there kids together and have them build a snow fort with tunneling out of the heaps of snow and make the best out the situation at hand with enjoyment for the kids.Then afterwards talk it over with the neighbor about where we can mutually snowblow our properties to an area where the kids can use the mounds of snow and play together and build lasting memories and snow forts.

***** I was very impressed how well it worked. ***** After our January thaw & fresh snow yesterday, I took it onto my deck & cleaned a nice path, today I will do it again & on the steps. ***** This machine is just the ticket for me. It is light weight, easy to maneuver. ***** Something a women can handle. I am a 68 year old woman living alone. ***** My deck is on second level so there are a lot of steps to do then there is the sidewalk ***** on the ground and few more steps up to the drive way. ***** Now I can clean them myself. ***** I would not do it before which made ice after walking on the snow. Well let me tell you, this is the best investment I think I have ever made & would highly recommend this to anyone. ***** The funny thing is that I have been teased by men (of course) about this "little electric" thing. ***** Now I can throw it back at them. :) ***** My dog likes the path too, just not the thrower, but then she don't like vacuum sweeper either! ***** I'm a happy snowed in person NOW.
