I was about to say. How "Hard" the winter is for you is entirely subjective and everyone will have a different opinion.
I've found our sidewalk very difficult to keep clear for all of the aforementioned technical reasons above. I'm sorry to anyone walking by our house but Monday was the first day I was unable to keep perfectly bare to the concrete. I have no salt available, and after spending an unreasonable amount of time and effort on it I put some sand on it. The few particles of snow and ice will have to lie where they are. I'll try again tonight to go at it.
This has been a difficult winter for clearing because of the ice. I too would far prefer a steady-state below-zero with only snow to deal with. The constant wild swings have wreaked havoc on surfaces.
