I'm here, Idaho Backroads neighborhood reporter Steve Dent.
And I guess it's just one of those days where
we're all going to be digging out after last night's
snowstorm.
Nick Salyer shovels his sidewalk on the Boise bench after
it dumped around 6 inches on Saturday.
Yeah, I'm tired. I didn't.
I didn't keep up on on this side over the
past couple days,
so I'm it's all all the build up that we've
had.
So I'm I'm paying for it now.
City code requires residents to shovel their sidewalk,
but it's been tough to keep up with the shoveling
this week.
I know I've struggled and it's also recommended to not
shovel snow onto the street.
So Nick went out of his way to throw each
shovelful over his fence,
even though it takes a lot of effort.
Just don't want to see any other cars get stuck.
I actually helped a neighbor while she was trying to
pull out.
She got stuck at that little intersection and I know
when it builds up right here it makes it harder
for it to drain when it starts to melt.
So I just figured you know why not when I
just launched over my fence and get a good workout
out of it and my dog loves the snow so
gives her some more snow in the yard to play
in.
I checked out some of the road conditions on Vista
as they were snow covered but not very slick.
They continued to get better as the day went along.
The side streets have way more snow but that's to
be expected and we can all do our part to
clear off the sidewalks to help those that need to
walk.
But if you get a chance,
go enjoy the snow. It's getting this much.
Snow can also be a recipe for fun.
I love it. It's not always fun to shovel,
but I always I always love the snow.
It's fun to play in.
It's it's just fun. I'm your Idaho Backroads neighborhood reporter
