This little white Honda, which doesn’t exactly blend in with the snow, was creatively parked on what looks like a ramp of snow next door to Louie’s Italian Restaurant on River Road Extension on Thursday. Heeding the No Parking sign that refers to the street as opposed to actual pile of snow, presumably the driver has a short walk to his front door.

Dams can tear off gutters, loosen shingles, and cause water to back up and pour into your house. When that happens, the results aren’t pretty: peeling paint, warped floors, stained and sagging ceilings. Continue Reading →
