Residents of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, are facing a new challenge after heavy snowfall: icy roads. While some residents chose to stay indoors, others seized the opportunity to earn extra income through snow removal services.
As the snow tapered off in many parts of central Pennsylvania , concerns turned to ice. On Monday night, many in Chambersburg stayed off the roads and inside to be safe. Though others said this was the best time to go outside and earn some extra cash. 'It's a long day out. I'll be out till five, six o'clock in the morning,' said Randy Foreman, a plow truck driver in the area. Temperatures remained below freezing throughout the day, with feels-like temperatures sitting in the 20s.
Meanwhile, the snow, although a fluffy, powder-like texture, made for some slippery roads throughout the day.READ MORE |'This is how I make my living in the winter. I do lawn and excavating and snow removal,' Foreman said. 'And I get more on more snow, like six to eight inches. I get people calling left and right; I can't even finish.''I'm really happy when people say, 'Yes,' because we always drive around, and 'No and no and no,' and when there's a 'Yes,' it finally is good,' said 11-year-old Kohen Mann. Mann and his two cousins worked hard to make life a little easier for their neighbors before the snow turned to ice.'We're temporarily living in this area, so we know there's a lot of elderly people in this area. So we just try to help them out,' said Mann's uncle, Aaron Bennett. 'It's just a good thing to do and just teach them good morals and just help people who can't do it themselves.' As for those driving on the roads, it's important to go slowly and give salt trucks and others paving the roads plenty of room
