I get out of the way of plows when I'm driving a car too. It only makes sense to allow those who are trying to make the road more navigable to do their jobs. If there's a plow around, I want to be BEHIND it, not in front.
I will agree that the close pass and the "get off the road" comment were inappropriate. But before that, the cyclist (and, IMHO, the cars) should have gotten out of the way of the plow.

That and around here plow drivers tend to work horribly long shifts.
I sure as heck don't want to be around one with a driver that has been up for god knows how long.
Then again the Denver metro area is pretty sucky at snow removal.
