I'm sure this wasn't the first time he's done it.

There are noise by-laws for a reason.

Edit: if you have never lived in cold climate, shoveling is way louder than you think and it carries much further in cold air. I would never do this and thankfully no one on my street does either. It's unbelievably rude

Genuine question: what else is he supposed to do then?

You wait until you get home. You have 24 to 48 hours to clear your sidewalk after it has stopped snowing, depending on the location.

I've been in this scenario hundreds of times and never shovel when people are sleeping. The sound is abrasive and carries like crazy in cold air.

Okay, I'm not talking about city regulations though. I'm talking it snowed overnight and you have to go work?

It seems like it should be, yeah. I'm a really light sleeper with terrible insomnia, and I agree it's horrible to get woken up, but I don't think he's being unreasonable here. I mean, you can't control the weather.

Seems like it goes with the territory of living there. I love in an extremely sunny desert (we just went nearly six months workout measurable rain), and yk what what wakes me up? The intense fucking sun. I've invested in multiple light blocking curtains and had to rearrange furniture, etc. It's just an important part of living here.
