Snow means cuddling up in warm blankets with a cup of cocoa, sledding, and holidays.\u00a0 It also means dangerous roads and slippery sidewalks. Here are two things you can do to keep yourself and your neighbors safe through the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shovel or plow snow away from sidewalks, fire hydrants and mailboxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What happens if you don\u2019t? People can slip and get minor to serious injuries on icy sidewalks. Or, you might have to wait a few minutes while firefighters dig through the snow before finding the hydrant. Or, you might not get your mail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pro tip: If you shovel snow into the road, it makes more work for plows and can create dangerous blocks of ice for cars on the road. It\u2019s safer to put snow back into your own yard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
