    I’ve used one for a very light coating or powdery snow, but more than a couple inches of that it’s just easier and faster with a shovel

      IMO if it’s that little snow, i’m just fucking leaving it.

      It’s not gonna kill me, unless it’s sitting on a solar array or something.

        I live in a place where if someone slips on your sidewalk they can sue, so I’m a little more cautious about it.

        Assuming we get snow ever again…

            For injuries related to slipping and falling. It’s a real thing, and why a lot of places nearby don’t even have sidewalks to avoid this liability

              this is such a weird legal thing. Even if it’s my sidewalk, you’re still walking on it of your own accord, i’d get it if maybe like, i put ice all over it, or something. but otherwise that’s not my problem.
