Do check you pl though I've got a £10M policy and I don't know if I'm covered to be honest.
Where are you based?
It's not worth the bother in Lincoln as in 15 years there has been only a couple of occasions when actual snow clearance rather than gritting for ice has been needed
I am in the North East of Scotland, in my first winter after starting up in May this Year and cant sit on my hands whilst the weather doesn't allow me out.
I think i will ride through this winter and get some serious cover as it can be a major part of my winter work up here. And invest in the proper equipment to do it i guess.
We looked a couple of years ago when we had heavy snow and decided against. It was a mix of concern of litigation, extra danger on the roads from others and possible hassle. If someone was of the mind to sue, and it may not just be the property owner, then irrespective of being insured or not, it could be a huge amount of hassle.
What I did think of was calling my customers and seeing if any needed help with supplies, offering a delivery service; eg pop to the shops, get some essentials and deliver. Didn't progress that either - again, although my defender would have given sterling service, it was others on the roads I worried about.
yes, would have been petrol donations only.
What about contacting local sites that have to stay open, to see what they have in place for snow events?
Down here many LJN members are part of the Heathrow snow team, and I'd guess things like airports etc. elsewhere will need people.

However it will need a lot of investment I've got the official document from highways as to what you need to run a snow plough legally.
You will earn more money gritting to
or Golden Snow as we call it !
