Would you clear 200 yards of snow to help a friend? Dave Scarangella who lives in Ashburn, Virginia, is reminiscing about a time he and his neighbors did just that, during a big snowstorm back in 2003.
Scarangella told 小萝莉影视 he remembers going out in the early evening to shovel and try to stay ahead of the multiple inches that were falling. Many of his neighbors were doing the same, when he asked one of them what turned out to be a timely and important question.
鈥淚 asked ‘How鈥檚 your wife doing?’ And he said, ‘She鈥檚 due any day now,'” he recalled.
Almost in unison, Scarangella said his neighbors turned to each other and said, 鈥淎ny day now?鈥�
They knew what they had to do, so they started digging and shoveling.
鈥淲e just carved out this one lane throughout the cul-de-sac,” he said.
He said the snow was so thick and it took a lot of effort to move.
鈥淲e chopped up the snow until it got low and then ran over it with a snow blower,鈥� he said
Good thing they did, the next morning she went into labor.
It was hours of shoveling that night until 1 a.m.
鈥淲e were all tired and everything like that, but it was really cool,” Scarangella said.
He said it also brought the neighborhood together.
鈥淵ou don鈥檛 get to see your neighbors a lot, but at least for that next couple of years we all chuckled about that,” he said.
Scarangella is almost 70 now and said his best shoveling days may be behind him.
鈥淥ne of my neighbors has already yelled at me, ‘Don鈥檛 you go out in all of this,’鈥� he said.
To that end, he鈥檚 hoping for a little karma with this storm that鈥檚 coming.
鈥淚鈥檓 hoping for the kindness of other young people in the cul-de-sac,” he said.
