Here propert owners are responsible for clearing the sidewalk in front of their property within 24 hours. Yesterday wasn't too bad. On a 3 mile walk, there were only 4 or 5 properties with uncleared sidewalks. Today is a different story. With the strong winds, the snow drifts over the cleared area within a few minutes. It's pretty pointless to sho9vel right now.
My biggest gripe has to do with businesses. They pay thousands of dollars to clear their 10 acre parking lots, then they don't bother to clear the little sidewalk that fronts their business. In fact, they often push the snow from the parking lot right onto the sidewalk, leaving pedestrians with no choice but to walk in the traffic.
