There is one thing that even a four-year-old kid knows is important and everyone in New York State should be listening to the advice.

The winter is on the way and the snow is already falling. For some, the spring can't get here soon enough after FEET of snow has fallen. The cleanup is still going on in the Western New York area.

But before we can get back to the warm weather and sunny skies, there is a whole lot of winter to go and that means a good deal of snow still to come.

If you have lived here long enough, you know how to drive in the snow, and how to clean up the driveway and around the house after a snowstorm. However, there are some places that the snow piles up that you should pay closer attention to.

I took our four-year-old with me to get some snow cleaned up. With more than three feet of snow on the ground from the latest lake effect snowstorm, there is plenty for us to do!

As far as snow shoveling laws, there are portions of New York State that have specific laws and timing seems to be a big concern.

NBC in New York City reports that:

"You must clean up within four hours --- if the snow stops between 7:00 a.m. and 4:49 p.m. If the snow stops between 5:00 p.m. and 8:59 p.m. -- you have 14 hours.
For late and overnight snow between 9:00 p.m. and 6:59 a.m., -- you must clear by 11:00 a.m. the next day".
