Great timing to bring this back! You can drive a car through 10cm of snow. You just have to go slowly. Pushing a stroller or a mobility device is nearly impossible. Clear sidewalks first, especially in neighbourhoods where people walk or take transit.
Now's perhaps a good time to re-read this reflection by @brigittepellerin.bsky.social on how we could approach snow-clearing equitably.
Stockholm shows that equitable snow-clearing is possible; it's just a question of political will.
