Help Me Howard: Snow Ticket Issued To Homeowner

After last Monday's big snowfall, a Staten Island woman shoveled the street outside her house early in the morning and went to work at Staten Island Hospital, where's she's a nurse and works 12-hour shifts.

The next morning on Tuesday, she swept what had blown back onto her sidewalk and went to work for another 12-hour day. Later that day, her son came home to find a ticket on their front door from the sanitation department for $100, stating they had made no attempt to shovel the path.

He took pictures of their shoveled sidewalk as well as the barely plowed street and called Help Me Howard.
