Now we are advised not to clear the snow!

Actually come to mention it this is why many of the schools have remained closed

That by far the most BIZARRE thing I have ever heard!!! Here as soon as the snow stops we all go out and start clearing all the sidewalks, driveways and in my development our parking lots are plowed! I can hear the plows coming at 3am!! 

Doesn't it make MORE sense to clear it rather than leave the snow, which will melt a bit then freeze over????

I shoveled the snow to clear our walkway, as we haven't developed the talent of walking safely on heavy snow or ice. I was told we now are NOT to shovel it, as we can cause more injury to others by doing so, along with the option 'others' have to sue us if they fall and injure themselves.

My solution:  I shovel the snow. If they fall, I pick them up, put them in the back garden with the rest of the deceased rodents, and get on with it.

When the 'hgherarchy' gets their minds made up once again, on this issue, I will go along with the 'new' concept they come up with but in the meantime, I will continue to shovel the snow so we can safely exit the house without breaking legs, hips, arms etc and those who do raise a fuss obout it...well....there is still room in the back garden.

Good sense of humour BetH.

Our paths are cleared and salted early mornings, which we have to pay for.

Yeah i agree its stupid!! i used to clear peoples drives for them when i was a kid! me and my mates used to go round clearing them, and people used to pay us a little or give us sweets!!  wow i could be sued now for causing someone to fall in the 70s!!!!
