Just a few day before Christmas 2009 Cape Cod was hammered by a blizzard that blew from the Northeast. That always makes for winy conditions with heavy snow drifts.
Snow Removal around the area takes on a life of its own. People from all aspects of life get involved. In almost every neighborhood a group of local get together and go door to door looking for snow removal jobs.
The trick to finding someone to help dig you out is two fold. One make sure your house looks like you are home. Leave a outside light on and try to make the front look approachable. Second is be patient. Most people who want to go out a shovel snow wait for a storm to stop. Once this storm subsides those seeking the work will be out.
Some tips if you live in a area not visited by local teens or tradesmen is Craigslist. Many companies and individuals post ads on the website. CL has a page for just about every area in the USA.
If you can't find people who are looking for work post a help wanted ad on CL.
Use Twitter. Simply do a search for Snow Removal Service + Your Area. You will find services in your area. Send them a direct message and send a @ to them. It works!
Snow Storms on Cape Cod can be the most wonderful thing if you take a positive stance. It may seem rarer but it really isn't. The Cape and Islands get some severer weather all times and season.

Kennedy's Widow Buys New House - Politics News Story - WCVB Boston
The widow of Sen. Edward Kennedy is selling the home she and her late husband shared in the Kalorama neighborhood and is moving nearby to a smaller three-bedroom house. Selling agent Jim Bell said Friday the purchase price was $1.65 million. A Kennedy spokeswoman says the move will have no impact on the family compound on Cape Cod. Vicki Kennedy continues to live on and off at the seaside home, most recently over the Thanksgiving holiday. Edward Kennedy died Aug. 25 of brain cancer after a nearly 47-year congressional career. A special election to permanently fill his seat is scheduled for Jan. 19. Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown won their respective party nominations this week.
