Morning. You could see snow clogging the pavement there leaving cars no place to go. Good morning. Im lauren mayk. The past few days have been frustrating for People Living on streets still packed with snow. Nbc 10s matt delucia is live in south philadelphia on one street that could use a little help, right, matt . Reporter indeed, lauren. People are still trying to dig their cars out several days after the storm. Take a look. Were on pierce street here still undrivable, but the slight warmup is helping to melt some more of the snow and that is helping drivers who are still digging out. A closer look here, some streets are still snow covered in south philadelphia a few days after this blizzard. And in one spot we saw a broken shovel stuck in a snow mound, one of the casualties of the storm and the frustration that weve seen out here. As of yesterday the Streets Department pegged this snow removal number at 80 complete. I just got off the phone with the Mayors Office. Im told plowing has continued overnight and into this morning. Im told there will be an update on the plowing efforts in the next few hours. As we take another live look, most of the roads that we traveled this morning have been plowed, but bear in mind of course these smaller streets and alleyways do make it very difficult to get through if at all. Actually, we did speak with somebody who lives in this neighborhood just a few moments ago. If we have that sound, lets take a listen to that. Ive been dealing with a lot of walking. As best as possible. At least sidewalks you can get around. But you cant even back out here because if you try to move, youre going to hit another car, youre going to hit something. So you just wait. Reporter a lot of waiting going on here. And most of the people that weve seen have been walking to where they need to go. That gentleman you just heard from, he says he has not been able to get to work in the past couple of days, but fortunately his employer is very flexible with all of this. His cars parked around the corner here. When you see this street right here, still at least a couple of feet of snow to get through, but we have not seen anyone out here with a shovel since then. Its very difficult as i mention to get a plow through this street. Its not wide enough. But theyre hoping that at least they can maybe get some sort of machinery or snow blower through here to at least get some of the snow out of the way to get their cars out. Live in south philadelphia this morning, matt delucia, nbc 10 news. Thanks, matt.

By having the state take us over, thats basically a dictatorship. They are not of the area, they do not know whats going on. And we take tremendous offense to that.
