Snow Update - Monday

It was warmer today, above freezing. So the snow started to melt and turn into slush. No one came to clear out the parking lot until almost noon. Instead of a front end loader, there were 3 guys with shovels and snowblower. It was slow going.

Later, a guy stopped by to check on progress and realized that the something bigger was needed. So late in the afternoon, a backhoe arrived and spent the next couple hours clearing the lot.



Initially, some of the snow was dumped next to my car. But then they realized the pile obliterated two (2) parking spots. So, they had me move my car and then moved the pile.  I think it was nice that the building owner and the property manager both showed up and were shoveling and helping. And a bunch of us were moving cars and clearing slush.

After the backhoe left, several of us were out shoveling the snow away from our cars and some of our neighbors' cars so they could get out. Still, there are several cars that are literally buried under the snow. One woman bought some rock salt and spread it out in an attempt to minimize the ice (it is supposed to go down to 31F tonight).

At the finish-this evening.
They also cleared a proper path for the front walk and did the sidewalk. Almost back to normal.
