Why do ppl shovel snow off of sidewalks - especially ones they don't walk down. . .

[episodic]

Just curious. God put the snow there . . . he will take it away.

To keep from getting SUED when some lamer slips and falls.

 

[Anubis]

because greedy people will fall for teh sole reason that they can sue you

Why do people cut their grass if they never play on it?

Most cities have ordinances that sidewalks have to be cleared within a certain time after it snows.

Because it's the law (around here).

The postman needs to get through. A few inches of snow is fine, but with the snow we got recently, you've got a clear it off if you want your mail.

Just pour yellow food coloring all over the area, they will avoid it and fall at the next house.

in some towns, it is the law...

 

[sniperruff]

because it will ice out and become an iceskating rink in a couple of days when the sun is up and it's warm outside?

Really? Sheesh. What if you are disabled or don't have the stamina, etc? I mean really?

Why do I read your posts when they never contain anything of value/substance/intelligence?

When I was in Ohio I did it for my grandma because since she's old, you never know when an emergency might happen. I always kept the sidewalk clear as well as behind the car so that if we had to get out, we could. I also kept the snow off the car as best as I could.

it only melts if you live far enough south

up north, it snows and more snow falls before it melts. if you don't clean up the snow, you'll get stuck under it

Yeah... when I lived in the city, I kept the sidewalks in front of my parents place clean because of the law. <sigh> We had elderly neighbors on one side of us, so I took care of their driveway / sidewalks... and the lady across the street that wasn't able to do it herself...
