With the winter storm and other weather changes, it is to be expected that snow will surely fill the properties of some of the places in the U.S. As being reported all over the news, some were suffering from terrible blizzard and heavy snowfall now and then. In the aftermath of such weather condition, the street will be filled with snow as well as your properties.
Since it is your legal obligation to clear down snow and ice after a heavy storm, you should do it strategically or correctly.

-It's also important to adapt proper shoveling stance to minimize injury to your back when lifting heavy shovelfuls of snow.
-Don't stand or walk on a snowy roof, remain safely on the ground when dealing with a snow-covered roof. Consider investing in a roof-clearing tool if it is a problem you face every winter.

As aforementioned, it is your legal obligation to remove the snow on your property, whether it is commercial or residential property. However, aside from the basic of snow clearing, you should also consider your capacity to remove snow and the current condition of your property. If you are not feeling well or the place is not yet that safe to start clearing snow, it would be wise to wait for the opportune time. And if you like, you can always ask the help or hire the help of someone to do this chore for you.
