Bostonist: Snow Parking Gets Ugly in East Boston

I'm hoping for an armed squadron of shovel-wielding vigilantes to emerge, which will relocate snow from sidewalks and other areas into marked spots. You think you're Davy Crockett because you spent 15 minutes moving 6" of snow, wait till you come back and find the tip of your lawn chair sticking out of a 2' pile. Unfortunately, I have a thing against getting stabbed, so I probably won't be the one to rally the troops.

It would be within your right to toss the chairs, but try reasoning with the person who put them there. That would be scary.

OK, it's been 48 hours now. Should I just run down the streets and toss the space-savers on to the sidewalks? One problem is when some people don't even have to shovel out but they still put a chair or cone there.

I'm ashamed to say it, but Nicole is a total freaking idiot and is lucky that it was only her tire. The law for as long as I've been alive is if you shovel it, you and only you (or maybe your cousin) may park in it. You either take the T when it snows or you shovel out a spot and save it with a chair like everyone else. Even the Mayor had to give in and publicly allow 2-days of chair saving.
