I shared during my report last night about seeing neighbors-helping-neighbors through our snow & ice adventures this week – I’ve seen residents shoveling the driveway of their next-door neighbors, seen folks use their snowblower to clear the sidewalks for the block, folks lending their shovels to each other, helping each other get unstuck, and more.

It’s a great witness of the community we have here!

Of course, there’s still more to go and I’m sure it’ll take some patience as we all get dug out – I know I’ve put in 7+ hours of shoveling thus far and still chipping away in parts - phew. (And I’ll admit there’s been at least 3 cups of hot cocoa in there too – got keep powered up you know.) ☕😜

Something also to share: Prince Georges County has a temporary initiative through Jan 30 called Operation Silver Shovel designed to help dig out PG County residents aged 70+ or those with limited mobility – You can find out more about the program and eligibility criteria on the linked page, and requests can be made by calling 311.

With that, I’ll leave you with a picture of one of our little guys summiting the legendary “Mount Snow” (geographic marker pending). 🗻😉
