with the record snowfall last week (almost 15 inches), our area is mostly dug out.
What bothers the hell outta me is, YES IT HAS been a week since the last significant snow fall. how hard is it then you ask is it for homeowners and apartment dwellers alike to have NOT cleared off their steps????
How friggin hard is it for you, at the end of the storm, to after cleaning your sidewalks (as required by city statue/law) at least take a broom and sweep off your steps. and to you apartment dwellers I expect that you should be a little diligent in this as to NOT unduly burden your landlord with a potential lawsuit and a huge claim again their liability insurance.
you know there are going to be people trudging up and down these steps and yet you choose to be a lawsuit waiting to happen. I am refering to not only mail carriers and delivery persons but friends, family, small childern, etc.
the worst offenders seem to be the houses converted to upper/lower duplexes with outside staircases. yes those dreaded outside stairs that are at a 60 degree angle, wood construction, painted, minimal handrails and are at least 30 - 40 years old.
Try holding a full pizza hot bag and a lit flashlight (because as you know it is always a good idea to NOT put on the outside light when expecting a delivery) and navigating a perilious steep stairway that is covered in either ice or a couple of inches of packed down snow.
