Last week we had a huge snowstorm.
Last week we had a huge snowstorm.

Both sentences are correctly punctuated, so neither sentence is incorrectly punctuated.
The sentence below is INCORRECTLY punctuated:
Help me shovel the driveway please?
The incorrect sentence is:
Help me shovel the driveway please?
To determine this, we need to check the punctuation of both sentences and identify any inconsistencies. On the first sentence, "Last week we had a huge snowstorm," we can see that it ends with a period, which is appropriate for a declarative sentence.
However, on the second sentence, "Help me shovel the driveway please?," we see that it ends with a question mark, which is incorrect. The sentence should be punctuated as "Help me shovel the driveway, please." with a comma after "driveway" instead of a question mark since it is not a question but a request or command.
Therefore, the second sentence is incorrectly punctuated.
