Crews were out early Sunday, trying to make room for the next round of snow as towns across the state are running out of places to put it.
After a couple of major snow storms, islands of snow have built up in parking lots like at the Corbins Corner mall on New Britain Avenue in West Hartford. Some snowbanks are so tall, it’s hard for drivers to see around them.
So, the shopping center brought in West Hartford contractor D&H Concrete to move all this snow away. But as they start to run out of places to put the snow, there’s only one direction it can go, and that’s up.
"We're going to have to bring in an excavator," Dale Morin, of D&H Concrete, said. "We're going to have to pile it. There's going to be piles higher than the light poles. We're going to have to stack it, just keep stacking it."
It’s not only a safety concern, but also a business concern to open up more parking spaces for people.
However, there are limited places to dump the snow in that area because there are new buildings in the plaza where crews used to put the snow before.
The crews hope to bring in a large truck to haul the snow away before the piles get too tall, but that won’t happen before more snow comes Sunday and Monday.
