I live in a place where if someone slips on your sidewalk they can sue, so I'm a little more cautious about it.

Assuming we get snow ever again...

sue for what? Snow falling on the ground? There's no way that's getting through courts lmao.

For injuries related to slipping and falling. It's a real thing, and why a lot of places nearby don't even have sidewalks to avoid this liability

this is such a weird legal thing. Even if it's my sidewalk, you're still walking on it of your own accord, i'd get it if maybe like, i put ice all over it, or something. but otherwise that's not my problem.
