Just to back the brother up: everything he says is right on. I’d go one more step: hey, you teenagers with nothing better to do, grab your parents’ shovels and go around and offer to clear your neighbors’ walks and driveways for a reasonable fee. Make a few bucks.
Current conditions in Chicago, where Dan learned his Snow Shoveling Etiquette: 60 degrees, rainy. Like Seattle oughta be.
If you don’t shovel your sidewalk in Calgary, you get a ticket…that’ll learn ’em.
In Lincoln NE it’s a law that you have to shovel off the sidewalk in front of your house. By 9 am! They don’t mess around over there in Nebraska.
They should make that the law in Seattle; AND THEN ENFORCE IT!!!
*K-9 & I just shoveled the walk in front of my place*
I’m pretty sure in Vancouver you have to shovel the sidewalk in front of your house/buisness owners have to shovel the snow in front of their buisnesses
There’s nothing to shovel. Less than half an inch, and it’s not slippery at all. The roads and walks were all melted bare before the last shot of snow, and when there’s three inches on the patio table the walks are perfectly safe to walk.
I just walked from Broadway up to 14th Ave E and noticed that sidewalks had been shoveled. It would have been better if they weren’t because the sidewalks are icy and now there is no traction. To get up the incline I needed to walk on the grass for my shoes to grip something.
Now if there is lots of snow, that’s a different story…
