It is generally better to shovel snow rather than leaving it on your property. While leaving snow may seem like an easier option, it can create various safety hazards and potentially cause damage to your property. Snow on sidewalks, driveways, and walkways can create slip and fall hazards, especially if the snow turns to ice. Removing snow can help prevent accidents and injuries. In addition, leaving snow accumulation can cause damage to your property, such as roof collapses or damage to your foundation.
