Wait...isn't that illegal?

Isn't there something in the snow emergency rules/laws where you're supposedly not allowed to pile the snow you clear from your sidewalk/driveway in the street? Or do the parking lanes not count as street? Cause I went to dig my car out just now (work all day and then out with friends and figured I'd do it now before the temp drops too much and the fluff gets crusty hard). The people whose driveway was in front of me created a massive mountain of snow right in front of (in fact, partially ON) my car, while the people with the driveway behind my car decided to copy them and create their own little mountain of snow. And by "little" I mean almost as tall as me. So instead of digging through just the snow that fell around my car, and that bit that the plow pushed over...I had to dig through two mountains as well.

So again I ask, aren't you required to NOT put the snow in the street?

And yes, I realize it would have been better to park in front of my own house instead of up the street, but my neighbor parked in front of my house. You know how I treated their car? I made a point, while shoveling, to clear around their doors on the drivers' side and was sure not to pile the snow around their car. Note the complete and total lack of burying somebody else's car. How hard was that?


Just...


Grrrrrrrr.

ETA I apologize if this is an over-abundance of griping for a community as opposed to a personal journal (perhaps I should have waited til this morning to write instead of doing it immediately after the shoveling adventure), but between the bitching/moaning I was trying to ask a legitimate question re: the legality of piling all the snow in the street.
