Coal Township shoveling out

People in one part of Northumberland County spent the morning digging out.

It was a busy morning outside Shamokin as people cleared off their cars on West Pine Street in Coal Township.

"Shoveling all day. Back at my house, we shoveled four parking spots, and now I'm here helping her shovel out, so it's a very tiring day for us," Gabby Greager said.

People helped each other. Raymond Keiter spent about four hours shoveling.

"Getting it all done, helping my neighbor out. Got to get us out of here, you know? Got to clean us out," Raymond Keiter said.

People in Coal Township say they got more snow than they thought they would.

"It was supposed to be 2 to 4, if that. And now it's all this. And now we're all stuck shoveling out. No fun, not at all. Not a good Tuesday morning," Greager said.

"Eight inches, I'd say, for sure. Eight inches, but it's melting, which is good," Keiter said.

George Kashner says he didn't mind it so much a few years ago, but not now.

"I don't appreciate it, I can tell you that," George Kashner said.

But not everyone felt that way.

"We'll make jumps and ramps, and we all just have fun and sled together," Julie Pitfido said.

Julie Pitfido and her 9-year-old son Jaden love snow days.

"There's a little alley there, so it's safe enough for us to slide down. We make our igloos. He likes to ride his snowboard down," Pitfido said.

"I get my sled and I go on that hill, and I try to sled down and then I make a ramp. When I sled down, I hit the ramp, and I jump off," Jaden Pitfido said.
