One of the most beautiful things aboutwinteris freshly fallen, fluffy snow. It brightens up the gray and cold months and provides ample activities like building snowmen, making snow angels, freezing maple syrup taffies, and going on crazy sled rides. However, shoveling it is far from fun. While it’s a great form of exercise, being in the cold and knee-deep in snowflakes isn’t something many find enjoyable.

So we can imagine the frustration ofthiswomanwhen her neighbor, mostly out of pettiness, buried her driveway in snow, leaving her to shovel it. Herlandlordrefused to do anything about it, which pushed her to take matters into her own hands and fix the issue.

Scroll down to find the full story and conversation with Corey Welch, founder ofMowandsnows.com, who kindly agreed to tell us more about snow etiquette and neighbors.

“Pushing snow onto a neighbor’s property is a quick way to create tension”

According to aYouGov USsurvey, when it comes to snow removal, most American residents (59%) choose to do it themselves. Men seem to enjoy completing this task slightly more compared to women. In fact, women are twice as likely as men to have someone do it for them for free, like a partner or neighbor.

Other ways Americans removesnowinclude, paying someone to do it (10%) and just waiting for it to melt (12%). Those who choose the latter, usually live in the South and East and experience significant snowfall much less than their Midwest and Northeast counterparts.

People who choose to remove snow themselves should know how to do it without inconveniencing or disturbing other fellow residents.
