For the love of god people! Shovel your sidewalks!

So now we have that fun combination of slushy, icy, dirty snow. It is a pain to walk through and hard to drive in, as these ruts attest.
You know what else makes it hard to walk? The fact that people have walked on unshoveled sidewalks which have now frozen, melted a bit and refrozen and are a slippery mess. What would their sidewalks look like right now if they had shoveled soon after the snow had fallen? Glad you asked.
They would be a wet, but not icy or snowy, easily traveled surface.
Please Portlanders with sidewalks, I know snow doesn't happen often. But when it does, please, please, please shovel your walks.
