Remember that shoveling a spot on a public street does not equate you to Columbus declaring the New World for Spain. From the Borough of Conshohocken’s website:

As a result of Tuesday, March 14th’s weather conditions, please be advised that no cones, lawn chairs or any other property or device are to be used to hold or reserve parking spaces during the storm. The Borough street crew WILL NOT stop to remove any property or device used to reserve a space, which may result in property being plowed over.

Someone put out a trashcan in a parking space last night (before the snow):

Only in #Conshy do we put trash cans in parking spots before the snow. #NoSavesies pic.twitter.com/vRrDQHR8EV
