How many of us are waking up to the sound of your neighbor’s snowblower? What about the sound of a plastic shovel blade scraping against the road?
It’s been a while since we’ve heard those all-too-familiar sounds but you’ll definitely be hearing them today as all of Schuylkill County begins to dig out from the biggest snowstorm here in a long time.
When you’re clearing snow today, be sure not to pile it up near storm drains. We’re probably going to need them to be in full drainage mode on Tuesday.
