BOSTON (CBS) – City residents are scraping and shoveling out their cars from under mounds of snow.

“It’s my first winter here,” said Teresa, a San Francisco native who was shoveling on Marlboro Street. “It’s really a pain. I’m gonna be late for work.”

WBZ News Radio’s Kim Tunnicliffe reports from Boston.

Not only do residents have to clear a space for their cars, they also have to shovel out the area around their vehicles.

“I don’t mind it. It’s a good way to start the morning, I think,” said Michael, a Boston resident.
