Hi zoomer,
To echo everyone else, if you want to clear the snow then it is appreciated by everyone. You will not be taken to court or sued for clearing snow and you are helping yourself, family, neighbours and the postmen. The tripe in the news a few years back is just scaremongering. No prosecutor will allow a lawsuit for you clearing snow. If you made ice deliberately by pouring on water to make ice then yes, but just clearing snow, then no.
