Pick a snow pile, any snowpile ...
This is what my street looks like on a sunny day. I took this photo to illustrate the height of the snow piles after a snowstorm or two. Our rented truck was only a few inches taller than the piles!
The snow piles exist because St. John's doesn't collect snow after plowing, so all of the snow that the plows push into one's driveway have to go somewhere, so they go onto the lawn, on top of the snow that fell there. And that's the only place to put the snow from one's driveway as well.
Sometimes it's a bit tricky to determine which two snow piles I should turn in-between to end up in our driveway - they all look alike!
Holy Moly that is a lot of snow. NYC has never collected the snow. And the cars are still getting fines because the city won't elimate the parking regulations during snow storms. Grrr.
