I have never seen as much snow fall in one day as it did last Monday. Everything went under. Our front porch was knee deep in snow. In front of the apartment complex, Jack would periodically shovel the snow off the pedestrian walkway into the road and in the next hour the trucks will shovel them back on to the walkway. Finally, I think they came to some kind of implicit understanding and now we have got these walls of snow where the car parking spaces used to be. Some people spent hours digging up their car from under. Today it was all bright and sunny. The snow now piled high on the side of the road and gray and dirty from all the soot and grime from the roads is melting slowly, making the roads all slushy.
They are forecasting rain all through the weekend and with so much snow out there already, people are predicting a flood in New York City. NYT says the city will have spent $20 million cleaning up the mess.
I am very impressed with the speed with which Stamford city authorities cleaned up the roads out here. Yesterday, I started for office in the wee hours of early morning and as the sun was breaking out, the cleaning crews and cop cars were still on the roads.
