Sidewalk looks more slippery than the snow.

Quit being such a negative nelly. That was a ton of work. And at least now some salt would make the sidewalk navigable. And it will melt off and dry quickly when it warms up, instead of taking an extra day or whatever.
(If I remember right this is in WA somewhere. Iâm looking at the sidewalk in front of my house debating shoveling it right now.)

I barely know about snow. In NW Washington where it will likely get above freezing on almost all Winter days that makes sense and I guess the salt works ~everywhere.
I have vague memories of salting sidewalks from when I was a kid. I donât think that happened in MD when I was in 6th-7th grade even though we got some ice/snow. I lived in Buffalo NY in kindergarten and it might have been from there. I donât remember anyone salting anything in Portland. (we had a huge ice stom in Portland when I was in 7th or 8th grade (half 7th in MD half in OR). It was awesome at that age. Roads had like a solid inch of ice - great for sledding and schools closed for at least a week.)
Yeah, itâs true that it doesnât snow much here. This is our once-every-couple-of-years snow âstorm.â
Something that happens here with the sidewalks is that the powdery snow on the sidewalks gets trodden down by walkers into compacted snow/ice, which takes way longer to melt than the powder would have. So thatâs a reason to get it shoveled before that happens.
Anyway, itâs supposed to get above freezing tomorrow so hopefully we can just enjoy the âsnow dayâ and get back to normal soon.
Lol, do that in USA #1 (for legal bullshit) and someone will inevitably fall and hurt themselves, then try to sue someone into oblivion.
or murder suicide everyone into oblivion.

it might freeze but thereâs a lol local regulation that homeowners have to keep sidewalks clear.

we are expecting another 6-10â tonight, so this is really to keep tomorrowâs job more reasonable.

Why is that lol? People who donât clear the walks in front of their houses are bottom tier humans.

That sounds really weird to me here because thereâs no snow, but also:
itâs lol because snow is so rare and thereâs literally zero enforcement. a bunch of old people would never be able to shovel.
snow happens maybe one day every other or third year. it hardly ever sticks. this dump would melt by tomorrow morning, if we werenât getting more snow tonight. it will still be gone sometime monday
Itâs kind of lol in my neighborhood too, because I just did mine, but all the pedestrians are walking in the road anyway because nobody else has shoveled their parts. At least if the mailman comes heâll be able to comfortably access our mailbox.

Last spring I overheard a lady squeezing information out of her neighbor about who might have reported her for not shovelling. I remembered her sidewalk not being shovelled over the winter and even though it wasnât me who snitched, I felt a surprising amount of secret joy that someone had.

From a couple of weeks ago. Snowing now but it hasnât started to accumulate yet.

Terrible picture. I couldnât even tell on my screen. The pier lights were different colors and they made very cool reflections in the ocean which you can barely see in pic.
