Enough already

It's been snowing lately here... so much so that schools have been closed left and right... We've been shoveling out for what seems like weeks now.. there is nowhere left for the snow to go.. We've been lucky here in Malden. Our landlord has been coming by and helping us (mostly me) uncover the car and get spaces plowed out. Over at my mom's it's a different story. She lives on a corner and on a walk to school route in my hometown. So even though her sidewalks are plowed constantly and look great, there is a HUGE pile of snow on the corner of her street and the intersection of the street that leads to the school itself. The pile is so big that you can't see if anyone is coming when turning onto the main street from her driveway. Hopefully the city will come by and make the pile smaller so that it's a bit safer for everyone but until then we all need to be really careful in that area. Her street is not the only one like this. There are quite a few like this.. How do I know??? Well for the past 2 Monday afternoons I've been volunteering in the Mayor's Office and answering the phones. The phone calls that I get are sometimes funny... like the little old lady that wanted to talk to the Mayor himself.. about the snow and how she lives on a Dead End street and they have nowhere else to put the snow. I forwarded that one to the Exec Asst. I also get people who need birth certificates for their kids.. I transfer those to the City Clerk's office.
