PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — After days of shoveling, salting and slow melting, Philadelphia is back to business.
“I can walk down the sidewalks this time. Three weeks ago, we couldn’t. So I’m here for it,” said Steve Allen of Manayunk.
Allen is already mentally skipping past spring and right on to summer.
“I’m trying to be down the shore. I’m trying to be down the shore. I don’t even want to be in the city,” he said.
Students in the School District of Philadelphia will be back to in-person learning on Wednesday, days of virtual learning due to the storm.
Across the city, residents are still facing the reality that winter isn’t over. In South Philadelphia, Anthony Sanders was out clearing space in front of Jackson Place senior housing.
“It’s winter time. What can you expect?” Sanders said. “We got spoiled all these years with the snow passing us by.”
Many secondary and even tertiary streets were passable and in some cases, even clear.
“It’s amazing how good the city is compared to the last snow storm one day after it,” one resident said.
