Two days after the snowstorm first hit Norwalk, the city was continuing to dig out and get back to normal.

Around Washington Street, city crews seemed to have a handle on the situation, with most of the sidewalks totally clear.

Nearby buildings and businesses with their own parking lots were still working hard Tuesday afternoon though, with Lionel Pineda, the property manager at 84 West Ave., hiring someone to help him out.

"I've been shoveling for the last three days nonstop," he said.

"(The snow is) heavy, your back hurts at the end of the day when you've been shoveling all day," added Walter Ventura, who owns his own landscaping company and had been making the plowing and shoveling rounds.

Just up the hill on the side streets, there was even more work to do.

Multiple cars were still totally buried in snowbanks, while sidewalks often just ended because they still had not been plowed.

"I'm not frustrated or mad, I'm just simply plain annoyed," said John Vann. "What the heck am I supposed to do? So now I'm trying to do everything I can to make it over to the mall safely while watching out for cars."

Jeremy Doughtery was out salting the sidewalk in front of his house, and said it was a team effort to get everything clear.

"People are helping each other out, someone has a snowblower, so he came through on the sidewalks," he explained.

The sidewalks were not the only potential safety issue though, as some fire hydrants were also completely covered.

The Norwalk Fire Department tells News 12 that crews have been around the city trying to dig them out, with shovels loaded on to the trucks.

Still, Deputy Chief Joseph Coppola said with so many hydrants, the department does appreciate help from neighbors.

"If they're able to, physically, we ask them to help us clear it," he said. "If not, let us know, and we'll come out and do it immediately."

Still, most people admitted the cold weather on Tuesday was slowing down their clean-up efforts - especially an issue, since getting fuel delivered to stay warm takes a little extra clean-up effort.

Sam Gault, the president of Gault Family Companies in Westport says people often forget that for trucks to get through, driveways need to be cleared out a full ten feet.

"We're not going to endanger (the drivers) or endanger the property of the homeowner," Gault said. "People think that if they can get their car up, that means they can get the truck up, and that's what happens, is the truck is a little more difficult, it's wider, so you have to plow the driveways wider than a normal car."

Gault also says it is important for people to remember to clear the snow off their vents outside, otherwise, there could be a backup.
