“This is tough on the streets where cars are parked and snowplows can’t clear the snow properly.
With small lots most cars are parked on the streets, since they don’t all have driveways. - Tom “

I grew up in one of the three decker neighborhoods in Boston.
It was an absolute nightmare during snowy winters———and that was years ago. It’s twice as bad now.

Agreed, not only does the snow blow off the roofs, but the plows pile it up where you need to park, and the lawns are full of snow from the front porches. So after you dig out your spot you have to find some old kitchen chair, or some other piece of junk to claim you spot with.
But on our street somebody always shoveled all of the walks around the house full of retired nuns. You had to get up at dawn if you wanted to be a part of that process - their sidewalk was cleared by 7 AM.
I also grew up in a three decker in Boston, in the Dorchester section.
Savin Hill to be exact.
It is worse now in Boston because then there were so few cars around until well after WWII!
Now every adult seems to have a car.-Tom
