The storm may be past, the sun may be shining, but the aftermath of Saturday’s blizzard is far from over. Whether your travels are in a pedestrian-laden metropolis or an icy suburb, piles of snow and slush have undoubtedly effected your commute.

The snow is so white and pure upon it’s initial decent from above. While Jonas was an aggressive storm system, we were still left with pristine piles of deep, fluffy snow. As it lay untouched by humans, nature furiously wrapped the eastern seaboard in a cold embrace. An embrace that cold is usually reserved for that distant relative forced to attend family functions.

That snowy virgin terrain is soon attacked by shovels and snowblowers, carving footpaths along the streets and sidewalks. Now there are piles surrounding our tiny lanes of travel. Pedestrians must navigate between one another, insisting each has the right of way, no one wanting to set foot on the browning, soiled snow.

Less than 24 hours after it’s appearance on the earth, the peaceful drifts of snow have slowly begun to melt and mix with street grime. Now puddles and brownish grey slush dampen our feet and penetrate our shoes. By the time you get to the office, a whole new pair of socks are in order. Dripping snow boots are left at the door and stocking feet are the norm when reentering the in-of-doors.

Thankfully, there is a way to skip trudging over all that dirty, oily, slushy snow. Simply get in touch with Carmel, and we will be right there with a warm car and an open door. With a few clicks of your Carmel app, you won’t have to take a second pair of shoes or socks for your workday. You can watch the piles of snow and struggling pedestrians from the comfort of your Carmel car. Best wait until the rest of the snow melts to attempt those sidewalks, Carmel will be here for you all winter long!
