So I live on a corner with a big driveway too. It snows frequently as well, so quite a few songs would be nice. So far I have:
Dig Me Out--Sleater Kinney
Workin' In a Coal Mine--Devo

Sixteen Tons--Traditional-ish, recorded by damned near everyone (though I'm partial to the Stan Ridgway version... it's got a nice Tom Waits vibe)

HA! I got super-depressed in the winters in San Diego. Something was missing...something... it was bad weather. My life felt just incomplete, like when you leave the house and forget your belt.

I totally know what you mean. Being from Buffalo the winters in Maryland are so unsatisfying, and that's nowhere near San Diego's temperateness!

Snow is nice to visit, but I wouldn't want to live in it.

Movin' Out by Bill Joel?
In other News: Everybody keeps askin' me if I'm excited about my trip to North Georgia next week. Its hard to muster up any enthusiasm knowing that for a few days I'll be freezing my ass off in the middle of nowhere. I'm gonna try to be in Atlanta for New Years at least. This way I can freeze my ass off somewhere well mapped.

Peter Gabriel - "Digging in the Dirt." Not about snow, but it is about digging, and it's great music for doing labor-intensive tasks like shovelling.
This time, you've gone too far!
I told ya, I told ya, I told ya, I told ya!
Oh, and Fountains of Wayne - "Valley Winter Song"

This isn't about shoveling snow, but I picture a drunken Caravan Ray in a piss stained dirty Santa suite standing on a street corner on Christmas Eve flipping off all the passers by yelling, OH OH FUCKING HO YOU BLOODY CUNTS!

Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson! What a legend! Though his absolute Christmas classic is the timeless
Santa Claus You Cunt, Where's Me Fucking Bike?"
Funny you should picture me that way though, because prior to becoming an Internet Rock God - my main claim to fame was as inventor of the "Santa Claus Pub Crawl". If you Google "Santa Claus Pub Crawl" - you will find hundreds of them listed around the world, all of varying vintage. Well - here's a scoop boys and girls - the first ever Santa Pub Crawl occured in Newcastle NSW in 1988. It was my idea, and I was the first "Santa" to buy a beer at the Mary Ellen Hotel on that night. All other worldwide events have stemmed from that one. We had 30-odd Santas that first night, then it grew every year until some time in the mid 90s when the Newcastle City Council banned it because there were so many drunken Santa Claus's wantering the streets causing trouble!
So, if you really were picturing a:

Thats some funny shiz John, that picture is classic. And yes, I agree with Jack, that should be engraved in something. Maybe add that on one of your pantie designs in your cafepress shop.
Oh, and I do have special powers, I just haven't learned how to use them correctly yet. But I'm fun at parties.
