I'm not positive what you're binding "that" to. If you mean shoveling on a warm enough day, it doesn't seem too bad. People can see it and the snow will melt into something no worse than the rest of the runoff.

If you mean at night when people might miss it - or you might hit someone you did not see - or you mean when it's cold enough for the snow to not melt completely... yes. I agree with you, although I find it a little hard to get terribly worked up about snow ordinances.
