These shovelers are working on a snow bank along Washington Street in the Riverdale neighborhood of Gloucester. The sun and warmer weather we’ll have next week will make a small dent in our snow cover. I remember snow still on the ground in April after the Blizzard of 1978.

  1. Imagine dealing with all that snow back in the day before snow plows and blowers. Here’s wishing you all a warming trend so your snow will melt away! Time for Spring!
