[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So weight and pressure meant snow and it freezes as slippery ice?!

No way!

Is this how ice skating works too? [/quote]

Northern US resident here:

you DC people won't have frozen stuff for long, I assume, but what is likely to happen is you have snow with relatively warm temps, so that snow is going to be wet and yes, compress and stick like snowballs. Some places it will be slushy and retain shoe prints. Then when the temp drops tonight you're going to have ice, both even and uneven.

I like to clear while it is still snowing so there is less to move each time, but you should make every effort to do so by late evening, and it will also not be a bad idea to spread some sand or salt in case puddles or condensation create slippery areas.

A homeowner had to pay out $15,000 when I slipped on their ice (it was wicked slippery in a single area where the sidewalk crossed their driveway, clear and dry everywhere else) and had a simple shoulder fracture.
