[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took my dog for a walk today for the first time since Saturday night. I live close to VHC, and I'm shocked by the number of people who haven't shoveled their sidewalks yet. We've been here for almost 10 years and I have never seen it this bad. There are always a couple of houses, but I counted at least five. There's no excuse unless you are physically unable to do it. [/quote]

It's not always laziness.  This was incredibly hard stuff to move.  We had to break out our gardening tools, and many homeowners might not have those.  We have a sturdy plastic snow shovel which works well for SNOW but was useless for this massive ice mounds.  We had to hatchet away with a metal shovel, and then scoop with the snow shovel.  It took HOURS longer than usual.  And we are able bodied!  Anyone with any sort of physical limitation or even just the wrong tools can't do it.

The county could help, once the plowing slows down, but since sidewalks are almost never their job, I am not holding my breath.  I suspect kids will be home all week while they try to get things passable.[/quote]
