Tell the kid that regardless of when or how much it snows, you'll give him $250 now, and if the snow is always shoveled in less than a day each time it snows, there's another $250 waiting for him in the spring.

So what do you pay a kid that shovels? By the hour? By the depth? Our driveway is about 75' long and 3 car widths wide. We live in MN and he would be shoveling by hand. Suggestions?
I would shovel snow when I was a kid for a man that traveled. I only did it a couple of time and he paid very well as he wanted me to show up.
