Snow plows worked to clear a path through the snow, but for some residents, the digging wasn't over yet.

Jason, an East Side resident on his way to work, found a silver lining in the timing of the storm.

"I'm mean there's nothing better than waking up to inches of snow the day before St. Patrick's day," Jason said.

"Keep the roads safe for everyone else. Take your time," Jason said.
