      Hot shot over here with a reliable plowing system in their city which they can even plan around!

        Legally you have 24 hours after the snow stops snowing to clear the sidewalk, driveway doesn’t NEED to be done, but it gets done so it’s not a future issue.

        I have the benefit and downfall of being on a bus route, so it gets plowed pretty fast. Anything without a bus doesn’t get plowed at all, playground roads are the last priority.

        They even have a resource page

        They even have routes that they can declare temporary parking bans in to clear snow better if it gets THAT bad.

          Check your local requirements! Where I live, you have until 10 AM to clear sidewalks if the storm ends by 10 PM the night before or 10 PM if the storm ends by 10 AM the same day.

        Leaving the snow creates a “barrier” so less snow gets pushed back in.

        I’m in the party of doing it a couple times during the snowfall so it’s not so much all at once.

        Just life sometimes like hitting you over the head.

    Where I live they plow the street with a couple graders, and follow up with a front end loader that clears the snow bank created over driveways, but only on front street driveways, and never well.
