If I shovel the sidewalk in front of my house earl;y in the day, the sun dries it off. If I can't get to it until late afternoon I leave it snow covered until the next morning to avoid ice patches. You are certainly correct that even an inch of melted/refrozen snow can be very dangerous to walk on, and a nuisance to push a stroller. People end up walking in the street, which scares me when I'm driving. I wish laws requiring walks be cleared were enforced.
