You want it to be welcoming and you don't want people to have to have snow all over their boots. That's very key first and foremost to have a welcoming open walkway to your front entryway, to the front doorway. Also, you want to keep it well lit. You want people to feel welcome when they come into your driveway and they're walking up to your door.
