Ok, snow confuses me. I have read the tagged posts -- someone complained that someone else didn't shovel / ice the sidewalk in front of their house, and they hurt themselves.

Who is responsible for that task? I rent in an 8-unit apartment building. Am I supposed to do that, since I'm on the first floor? Is there one designated resident to do that? Does the landlord bear the responsibility?

If I AM supposed to do it, where do I get salt? And what do you do, just sprinkle it all around?

I noticed a big blue barrel at the corner with sand in it. Can I use that, or is that a private barrel? It is right on the sidewalk on the street corner.

Also, what if there is a snow emergency declared, and it is street sweeping day on the odd side of the street? Does that mean you just can't park anywhere? I hear it is going to snow like mad Friday, and Friday is stupid street sweeping day.

I know I sound like a complete idiot, but seriously, there's no snow in Texas! At least, not like this...

There are streets "marked for snow emergency" ? I don't think I've ever seen one. Mostly, snow emergency means you can park on the odd side only.

Highland Ave, for example. Or was, last time I looked/noticed/cared/.

Anyway, that's all I know - mileage may vary. I ride my bike -- after 3000 in parking tickets and towing fees, I walked into Autozone and gave my car away. (srsly)

No, it's not. It's parking on odd-side only.

i know Cameron Ave, at least on the cambridge side, is a snow emergency route... in a declared snow emergency, we are not to park on either side... i don't know if that extends up the Somerville side.

On the Somerville side, you can park on the odd side.
