And in Ohio people will NOT shovel for fear of legal action. The logic behind said legal action being: The walk was shoveled which implies that it is safe to walk on. I slipped on ice/slush/my shoelace, therefore it obviously wasn't safe and clearly it's *your* fault.

(I don't know that anyone has ever filed such a suit, I just know that it's the logic behind not shoveling. I have more patience with "I'm too lazy.")
