This week we asked readers on how they’ve been coping with all the snow and how the city has dug itself out of a series of snowstorms.

Hey, it’s a piece of cake; the city’s doing good. I’ve been getting along fantastic. I don’t own my own home, so I don’t have to shovel. It’s Mother Nature, that’s all.

I’ve been dealing with it the best I can as far as paying attention to the weather reports and getting out when I have to get there and get back when I have to get back. I think there’s been more snow in years past, but this year it’s been a little bit colder. They’ve been doing a good job, but one Sunday a couple weeks ago all the black ice was all over the place and people were falling down.
–Reginald Tucker, Allerton

 

 

It’s not too bad, but the last few weeks it’s been very cold. The city has done a much better job this year removing the snow.
–Himan Al Nimir, Bedford Park 

 

 

 

 

At my age I don’t shovel the snow anymore. I have people shovel the snow, so I’ve been basically staying in. So this way, at my age, I don’t et hurt in my late 50s. The city’s been having a hard time with the snow and the cold. I think what the mayor did last time by shutting the city down, really saved lives. But I can’t wait for the summer.
–Robert Ford, Norwood 

 
I believe that we received a lot of snow, but not as much as they have said we’d receive. The first storm they announced, they’ve dramatized it. They made me leave work early because they said I couldn’t drive or you would get a ticket. I believe that the cold has come down too much that the snow has turned to ice and that’s the most dangerous thing. A lot of people have been having a lot of problems with this.–Francisco Marte, Norwood
