The city council in Wausau, Wisconsin, is looking to tweak a nearly 50-year-old law prohibiting throwing snowballs within city limits
Don't worry -- the residents of the central Wisconsin town haven't been deprived of a half-century of winter fun.But the text of Wausau Ordinance 9.08.020, enacted in 1962, might make you think otherwise. It reads this way:"No person shall shoot any objects, arrow, stone, snowball, or projectile by hand or by any other means at another person at, or into, any other building, street, alley, sidewalk, highway, park, playground, or other public place within the city.
Only two of those instances involved snowballs, but only because folks were pelting cars driving on the road.He said the other instances involved people shooting crossbows in their yards, with the arrows landing on a neighbor's property, and when people threw heavy sandbags off the roof of a parking garage while people were walking on the sidewalks below.City officials were pushing back on some recent news coverage about Wausau that got a bit out of hand.
