some cities have laws, you don't want to be financially responsible if someone slips on your sidewalk. if the snow is in a place, such as your driveway, and it doesn't bother you, why shovel at all?

If the snow is piled on thick, then the top might melt, then turn to ice. It will just make it harder for you to get in your driveway. You should shovel your sidewalk and walkway to make sure there's access to your home in case of an emergency. Also, if someone slips in front of your house because it's not cleared, you can be held liable for their injuries. That will be taken out of your home insurance, and your premium might go up.

sounds like your lazy to me, not to mention if its snowing the following day i guess it didn't melt from the previous day did it?...what about children and old people...you ever think how hard it is for them to walk through the snow and slip on ice...most of the time they have to walk in the street because lazy people like yourself. now how would you feel if a child or elderly person was hit by a car in front of your house because your sidewalk was the only section in the neighborhood they had to use the street to get around. get off your *** and get shoveling

In many cases, if the snow is not shoveled, it will melt and form ice... on your sidewalks.. on/in your driveways, etc and that could open you up for lawsuits, etc Remember that this is the United States we live in

Depending on where you live it is illegal not to shovel your side walk and entrance to your house if there was ever an emergency and the fire or police cannot access it you could be held liable same as your walk way if you dont make an attempt to shovel you could be held liable for accidents

If someone slip and sues your butt your home owners insurance will go up. If you shovel, the remainder will melt and evaporate more rapidly and you won't need ice melt crystals.
