Every year it's the same: winter and snow, yay, shoveling snow and black ice, yuck. But: do I have to clear and grit? Can I sweep my snow onto my neighbor's property? And above all: what if I slip and what does my footwear have to do with the law? We have all the answers for you.

The thing about snow is that there is hardly anything else where the line between fun and annoyance is so close. When the flakes fall, kids' eyes light up, drivers roll their eyes, and homeowners and others break out in a sweat. The latter in particular have more to do in such weather conditions than tenants. However, pedestrians and passers-by also need to take more care.
