Winter storms can be stressful.  Particularly in northern hemisphere.  States such as Pennsylvania are often hit with blasts that tend to be especially damaging.  Icy cold piles of snow, slippery roads, and school closings are common.  Shoveling snow to clear the way for actually being mobile can be stressful, too.  Oftentimes, one has to wake up especially early in the morning, before the flurries stop, bundle up against the bitter cold and exert a fair amount of energy removing the white stuff, which takes a lot of work.  But, it is really so stressful that clearing snow can lead to a brawl and criminal charges?

Law enforcement officers stated that a 23 year old woman allegedly had worked to clear the spot only to have her 43 year old neighbor’s spouse back his pick up truck into it.  The younger women was furious, inciting the brawl, which quickly escalated.  Before long, both women were pushing and punching each other over the taken spot, trying to stake claim on the cleared area.  They then began pulling at each other’s hair.  The women were interviewed by responding officers and arrested on criminal charges.  According to law enforcement, their citations for disorderly conduct are being mailed to them.Needless to say, people tend to take their snow removal very seriously.  Guess it's best to stay clear while the snow is being cleared.
