Hey while it's snowing and you're out clearing your driveways
I not ask but highly encourage you to please also clear stairways, ramps and as much sidewalk as you can get.
Yes you need to get your car out but it's even harder for us disabled folk during the winter to leave our places of residence when there's snow and ice in our path.
Wheelchair users are literally unable to go anywhere without either getting their wheels stuck in the snow or sliding uncontrollably on the ice. Disabled people in general are at a higher risk of injury or worsened conditions in weather like this.
Salt as much area as you can, clear away snow to grant safe paths PLEASE
Not all of us can acquire nor afford let alone have spikes/snowshoes for our aids or feet. Personality the "snowshoe" I have on my cane will only do so much and I can't afford myself any actual footwear that will protect me right now.
It doesn't just help your community but also protects you and your loved ones from accidents by doing more than just your driveway.
It might take some extra time but it's highly appreciated and worth it to provide the assistance to others.
Especially when it comes to sidewalks, snow plows cover those up like forgotten secrets under the rug.
If your main concern is your car sliding on ice, that exact feeling is what a lot of us have just leaving the house this winter.
Please for god sake go the extra mile and clear more than just your driveway
