I've noticed that if I try to plow with a straight blade eventually the snow that I'm trying to push becomes heavier than the truck and pushing becomes difficult. I always go with an angled blade unless I'm cleaning up a small amount. And I usually try to push it all to one side. Also don't try to plow tight turns like you were just driving. You'll end up crossing over your plow draft. Always try to be as straight as practical while pushing, it just seems to work better. As said before, plow for the wind. And don't pile the snow where it will get in the way. After a few thaw-freeze cycles you're not moving that pile very easily. Anticipate lots of snow and try to get it as far out of the way as possible so you don't end up with a narrow drive because it started coming in on you. One thing I've noticed when we get over 8" is that if I try to get it clean on the first pass it takes forever because the snow spills out both sides of the blade. So what I do is I plow the whole drive like I normally would letting it spill out the wrong side, then come back over again for a clean up. Like plowing the drive twice. It may seem counter-intuitive, but that's what seems to work best for me. Your first pass should be down hill. After the first pass you can take a half pass to go uphill if the snow is heavy.
Looks like you have some weight in the back, it is very helpful. I like having a trip-edge like yours instead of the whole blade tripping over. Also, with gravel make sure your shoes are set properly or you will be scooping up lots of gravel in the spring. And remember, you get stuck because you get hung up on snow. Don't get into snow deeper than your frame.
