CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) – Friday’s snow has given way to bone-chilling cold, and that may keep some unplowed and unshoveled areas a little messy for a while as the snow has turned to ice.
A new day dawned, revealing the aftermath of the lake effect snow chairs and saw horses, children’s toys and even a vacuum cleaner put in place to save newly shoveled parking spaces throughout the city.
But it was further north that bore the brunt with more snow in places like Wilmette, where Doug Steffenson lives. He said this is all part of life in winter.
“It’s just part of what you get when you live on the North Shore by the lake,” Steffenson told CBS 2 Chicago.
In Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood, neighbors like Guillermo Beruben, were helping each other out.
“The neighbors are pretty good,” Beruben told CBS 2 Chicago. “We tend to shovel and snow blow and open up the areas for, you know, the elderly and people that need help.”
There has been a lot of that when it snows.
A number of aldermen are thanking the volunteers they’ve assembled to shovel for the elderly.
But the goodwill goes only so far when someone moves someone else’s junk to take their parking spot.
