Several of my neighbors have put chairs in the parking spaces that they were parked in to prevent anyone from taking them while they're out. But our condo association's parking policy prohibits reserving spaces. If I come home and find the only open space has a chair in it, I'm moving the chair and parking there.

But then I have done more shoveling in this parking lot than anyone else over the past 10 days, so I will laugh if someone complains to me if I take "their" space.

I spent 4 hours shoveling yesterday and 3 hours shoveling today. After I cleared my car out yesterday, I worked on some of the common area of the lot. It was plowed but there are still large areas of packed snow and ice. I worked on it more today.

I can't even think about getting 10 or more inches again tomorrow. It's overwhelming. There is just no room for any more snow.
