Shovel This

Like many Buffalonians/Western New Yorkers, I had to do a serious amount of snow removal from our property in the last 24-30 hours.
I was out three times in this period, including two sessions of more than an hour each of snow shoveling. We got a pretty good amount of snow over this period, about 15 inches; nothing horrible, but certainly enough to shovel as much and well as possible. The colder than normal temperatures and strong winds certainly didn't add to the joy of having to shovel out our double-front property, including porch, driveway and walkway in addition to the sidewalk.
What irritated me the most today was before my final shoveling of the last inch or two at about 5 p.m., Walker Evans and I took our daily stroll in the neighborhood, although skate or climb was more like it.
Our West Side/Elmwood Village neighborhood is usually very good at snow blowing, shoveling or plowing snow, but for some reason, way too many people had apparently not even been out the night before to take care of their sidewalks. The worst was a corner property on Ashland Avenue (I forget which corner), which had not been touched, causing Walker and I to jog and hop through close to a foot of snow for much too long.
I know I temporarily have some extra time on my hands, but come on, people, let's clear the snow.
