My brother and his wife left their cars in front of the house before the storm. They did not lose their spots, and the cars shielded the sidewalk from the stuff pushed aside by the plows. Of course their cars ended up under three or four feet of snow.

We used to live in Somerville. Luckily, we had a driveway but we were sympathetic towards other neighbors who didn’t. We still had to clear sidewalks.
I just spent the last 2 days in RI, helping my 80 something parents dig out of nearly 3 feet of snow. I got a good workout at least!

i live at the very top of winter hill, on the ramp that runs above the 400 block of broadway, and getting down to the bus stop can be downright scary!

You might want to get some Yaktrax/crampons for your shoes. Makes a huge difference and you can use them for non-urban hikes, too.

I just got some yaktrax. Now it will not snow again this season. Bet on it.

I love mine. They were a life saver back when I still did deliveries in any weather.
Ok, maybe more like a bone & joint saver, but you catch my… snow (?) drift

“Crampon” is in my top five words in the entire English language.

Reminds me: Someone (?) once said his favorite Spanish word (beautiful sounding I guess) was
Murcielago
Means Bat, like the hanging upside down animal.

that’s a vibe.
thanks.
up here, snow doesn’t always get cleared well. so, in addition to slipping on ice, getting to the street often mean climbing over piles of snow. wasn’t an issue when i moved here in 1997, but now i need to be more careful.
