More on snow removal

We're all probably sick of shovelling already, but if you haven't yet taken a few minutes to dig out any fire hydrants and storm drains near your place of residence or business, please consider doing so. Thanks.

Edit: ron_newman also points out that clearing a pedestrian path at the crosswalk if you live on a corner is just darn nice.

Good tip. I was just thinking about that this morning as I contemplated all this snow melting, not being able to drain, and then turning to ice just in time for tomorrow's storm. Yikes.

I'm home sick today, but if I feel a bit better later, I may go out and do some more "samaritan shoveling." Already shoveled out a couple of neighbors last night.

I figured that with the muck, I wasn't going to be commuting on the bicycle, so I got my exercise that way, today. Hope you feel better soon!

I saw a bike commuter today. I was totally envious :). Used to do that myself...

But I only saw the one.

I saw three or four yesterday. The scariest one was going 12 mph against one-way traffic on Washington Street in Downtown Crossing. I tend not to ride much in the winter anymore, as I've had two serious bike accidents during winter months (neither of which involved any car or other vehicle).
