Two crews shoveled snow at Readville station, yet pedestrians are still having trouble

Jake could only marvel at the amazing shoveling job done by separate Keolis and DCR crews at the steps down from Readville station to the sidewalk below: One cleared the stairs and another cleared a path along the sidewalk and yet, somehow, neither thought to make it so pedestrians could actually get from one to the other.

Keolis did promise to send down a crew to finish the job.

Imagine navigating this snow mountain on foot; now imagine trying to do it in a wheelchair

Amy Hunt took this photo at St. Botolph and West Newton streets on Tuesday afternoon. Note that the roadway is well plowed - in part by piling up all that snow right at the corner, right where the handicap ramp is - the handicap ramp that Hunt, who uses a wheelchair to get around in, can no longer see, let alone use.

Person shoveled out car onto sidewalk in Dorchester

Steven Ayr could only marvel at what he saw on Victory Road at Houghton this morning:

24hrs after storm, someone shoveled out their car, dumped everything on the sidewalk, then put out a space saver. Either this person is a complete jerk or this is a political art installation commenting on the broken nature of Boston transit priorities.

Citizen complaint of the day: The nerve of some people, yelling at me while I remove their space savers

Steve Cooper had a busy morning

Steve Cooper with golf club and ball on Channel 7

Shortly after 9 a.m. WHDH's Steve Cooper visually summed up his entire morning: He pointed to snow, shoveled some of it as he stood atop a snow mound, took some snow out of the shovel, made a snowball and tossed it at the camera, then swung the shovel to toss the rest of his snow, got off the snow mound, showed us Scooper, the snowman he'd built (with the help of a viewer who brought a carrot for his nose) and then got out a golf ball and club and a tee, and hit the ball as he yelled "FORE!" into an empty parking lot.
