In the early hours of the morning, when driving to work through a fresh layer of about 8 inches of snow, I saw something I had heard about but hadn't ever seen until recently. Outside shop fronts owners were shovelling snow from the pavement, outside houses people were beginning to clear their driveways and the pavements in front of their home.
I'm in Cedar City, Utah and it is common practice here for two good reasons. Firstly, it means they are able to use their pavements, from which everyone benefits. And secondly, it saves on the city council services and money being absorbed on this task and that, instead, is able to be concentrated on keeping the roads clear.
Its a far cry from the state dependant society 13 years of Labour has grown in England!
