ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A STORM IN PROGRESS, DEFENDANT’S SNOW REMOVAL MAY HAVE EXACERBATED THE SLIPPERY CONDITION, DEFENDANT’S SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN DENIED.

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiff had raised a question of fact in this slip and fall case. Although there was a storm in progress, defendant’s snow removal efforts may have exacerbated the ice condition (facts not described in decision):

Here, in support of its motion, the defendant established its prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by submitting evidence, which included the affidavit of its meteorologist, as well as certified climatological data, which demonstrated that the subject accident occurred while a storm was in progress … . In opposition, the evidence relied upon by the plaintiff, which included her affidavit and the affidavit of her meteorologist, raised a triable issue of fact as to whether any snow removal efforts the defendant undertook prior to the accident in relation to the storm either created or exacerbated the ice condition which allegedly caused the plaintiff to fall … . Dylan v CEJ Props., LLC, 2017 NY Slip Op 02403, 2nd Dept 3-29-17
