A recent snowstorm has stirred local debate since state law leaves sidewalk clearing times up to each municipality.

In Morristown, residents must clear sidewalks within 12 hours after snowfall stops unless it ends later (exceptions apply), while nearby towns have different rules to help maintain safety.

The American Heart Association recommends using ergonomic tools and taking breaks to reduce risks while shoveling snow.
