Last week when it snowed, I shovelled my walks, primarily for the church-goers across the street.
Today the wind chill is -26 F. Nope. Not doing it today, city trustee or no.

Comment by James Kz on January 14, 2013 at 2:17am The village has an ordinance which says walks must be shovelled by 8 AM, however, there are no police to enforce it.
And since we bought our new car, the old scary one with all the religious freedom and Eris-supporting bumper stickers are gone so they do park on our side of the street now.
And right now it's even colder: the temp is supposed to get to -20F (-29C). We're not talking wind chill here.
The air is so cold when I open my door to let the dog out, the warm air rushes out and the water instantly condenses into fine snow.
Comment by Sentient Biped on January 13, 2013 at 10:22pm I don't blame you! Anyway, I thought they weren't parking on your side of the street.

Comment by Humble Pie on January 13, 2013 at 11:01am Most places give you a 24 or 48 hour period after it stops snowing. Surely your township does the same, doesn't it?
Comment by Prog Rock Girl on January 13, 2013 at 9:33am If it's your sidewalk it's a liability thing. Although what time do you have to get up to do it?
Comment by Pat on January 13, 2013 at 9:30am I, too, live out in a rural area? Do the church goers shovel a walk for you to get the feed store?
Comment by Randall Smith on January 13, 2013 at 8:19am You need a better excuse than "wind chill". Chilblaines or frostbite? Headache?
Comment by Loren Miller on January 13, 2013 at 7:05am Awww, c'mon! What's a little windchill among friends? All you really need is, say, five or six layers against the cold and you'll be JUST FINE!
Actually, you're displaying a trait which some of those church goers could stand to learn: discretion. Meantime, those who are nuts enough to go out in that icebox are displaying another trait: insanity!
