This is one of the worst winters in recent Ukraine history. I am glad to be apart of all the snow for it sure brightens things up and covers all the ugly. However, I do find it easier to walk on sidewalks that are cleared. I don't enjoy feeling like I am walking in shifting sand all the time. You can see the roads are not cleared at all. The way to get unstuck is to spin your tires and hope you catch. We often see walkers-by give someone a push at the corners or in drives. Everyone shares the same challenge so they all deal with it together.
The picture shows the height difference between a cleared sidewalk of a business and the public sidewalk. The difference is at least five inches. There are several inches of solid ice under the snow. I would think a business man could make some money offering their services. The tools that are available are often shovels made of wood. We saw one that looked like it was a cookie sheet duct taped to a wooded stick.
