As a youth I bought a lot of cool stuff by shoveling old folks snow. Actually rooting for bad weather then.
If the neighborhood has teens with shovels and the seniors can afford to pay them - that works great.
My complaint is with the regulations that counties impose on property owners who are burdened with fines for not clearing sidewalks within certain time limits. Especially stressful when there are multiple snow events.
My neighbor was intimidated by the police stopping at his home and warning him to clear his property - he had just moved in and was unaware there was a “law”. Stroke time!!!
Can’t find a kid to do the job. I have a disability and a heart condition so I can’t shovel snow. I have to pay a guy $35 to shovel. He’s made some serious money this winter.
AMEN!!
Today’s yoots would be having the heart attacks; the poor, overweight flab buckets!
