Snow Removal

[xuth.livejournal.com]

If you have mountains of snow around you, the next couple of days are the days to get rid of it so you don't have to work around this the next time the snow falls. Since the temperatures are in the 40s and 50s for the next couple of days it can legally be put into the streets where it will melt much quicker.
The explicit law that allows this and gives guidance as to how you should do it is :
Sec. 12-9. Shoveling snow on streets.

• (a) No owner, tenant or occupant of land or a building, or any agent thereof, in this city shall cause any snow or ice from said land or building to be placed in any public way in this city unless said snow or ice is broken up and spread evenly, to a thickness of no more than three inches, during daylight hours, when the mean temperature for that day is above 40 degrees Fahrenheit.


• (b) Whoever violates any of the provisions of subsection (a) of this section shall be fined in accordance with section 1-11.

If you did this, you would be my hero. Unfortunately, I don't think Somerville has several miles of Mass Ave in it. But if you covered the roads from Davis Square out 100 yards in each direction, that would suffice in my eyes.
