It can be very intimidating. Most of our visitors prefer to park on the street and walk down to the house.
DW and I watch the weather forecast, and if the outlook calls for any snow, we move the cars up to the street beforehand. Otherwise we'd be trapped until it melts.Fortunately, Richmond is far enough south that we don't get snow often.
There is an upside* to living on a steep hill. It's tough to grow grass on a slope because the rain just runs off quickly. So, despite a 3 acre yard, there's only about 3000 sq ft that's level enough to require mowing. The rest is wooded, which means low maintenance. Also, we're not too worried about break-ins. No burglar is going to bother trying to negotiate my driveway; it's too much effort and there are flatter neighborhoods just a half mile away.
*On a different forum with a less discerning readership, clever puns like this one would just be wasted.
