It's an age old problem with loose aggregate on top of the surface or, with clean crushed stone used for a wear surface, even with spacers under the shoes of ones plow blade, seems to pick up the stone. You need a clean wear surface, similar to pavement, when installing crushed rock subase that is the same as approved for road sub base by d.o.t departments, mxing some portland into it, and soaking is one way of packing the material and binding it, theres probably lots of ways and materials that can be used to get the same effect.
I find when working on surfaces like this, a snow blower picks up the aggregate, anything with a cutting edge collects the loose aggregate, if you set it too high, the remaining compacted snow layer not removed turns to ice, then you have a surface, blower does the best job, but that loose aggregate is always getting in there if you have fresh snow directly on the surface, aside from strategically locating the piles of snow where you can remove the stone in the spring, or moving same over driveway before it completely melts down and settles into the grass, I've never found a good solution except paving or some other means to make a clean well packed surface with no loose stone.
