Days After Storm, Some City Streets Yet To See A Plow

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Marylanders are digging out from under a record blizzard. It could take several days to fully recover from the massive winter storm.

Meghan McCorkell with the latest on efforts to clear city side streets.

Days after the snow stopped falling, and some city streets have yet to see a plow.

"This is as far as you can go, but you cannot go no further than here," said Glenn Baker.

Neighbors in Reservoir Hill tried to dig out some of their streets by hand, without much success.

In Northwest Baltimore, the shovels are out as the community attempts to escape feet of snow.

"A couple cars was stuck yesterday right there in the middle of the street. The truck couldn't get up there, so that's why our street ain't get cleared," said Baker.

It's a similar scene on side streets across the city.

"You can see that road right there completely untouched, completely full of snow," Captain Jeff Long reported.

Some residents are waving the white flag for help. Still, city officials say they can't give a deadline for when untouched streets could be clear.

"We're in an area of kind of unchartered water. If you think about it, we've had a record snowfall. Baltimore has never seen this much snow in a single event," said Department of Transportation Director William Johnson.

Crews with heavy equipment worked into the night in North Baltimore.

The city of Boston has loaned Baltimore two massive snowblowers, capable of moving nearly 3,000 tons an hour.

Dumptrucks unload the snow at M&T Bank Stadium, where mountains are forming.

Neighbors just hope their street is next.

"It's just going to take time. It's a lot of snow. They've got to get rid of it," said Chaz Sewell.

A tall task for road crews.
