Answer 1

Watch out! ´Quitar la entrada´ means that you remove the driveway! - mediterrunio

Exactly, Johnny, this was not the right choice.

We would also say

Limpiar la entrada, quitar la nieve con la pala,

NO he oido nunca "espalar"

Answer 2

retirar la nieve del camino de entrada

espalar la nieve del camino de entrada

Hello. True, espalar means Apartar con la pala la nieve que cubre el suelo. But I´m not sure in which country use that verb. It´s a bit uncommon in everyday language. - mediterrunio, Jan 14, 2010

This is a cool new word for me. Very uncommon in usage, but found in the DRAE. I guess that since it doesn't snow a lot in Spanish speaking countries it is not very well known. - LuisaGomezBartle, Jan 14, 2010

Answer 4

I would use, Quitar la entrada con la pala. Limpiar is to clean which doesn't sound right. Quitar is to clear. I would use that instead.

hello, limpiar is also to clear, like when you clear the snow from the driveway. Watch out! ´Quitar la entrada´ means that you remove the driveway! - mediterrunio, Jan 14, 2010

an expensive mistake that would be! - 003487d6, Jan 14, 2010
