Our region got about two inches of snow on Thursday. This is considered a small amount, and the roads were clear by mid-morning on Friday. The sidewalks, however, remained ice-covered and slippery through Saturday. People and businesses did not shovel their walks, and the cold temperatures re-froze the slushy sidewalks.. Combined with bad practices like parking over sidewalks and across driveways, the little bit of snow can prove to be dangerous - even when drivers think the ice event is over.
