ALLENTOWN, Pa. — The shovels and salt spreaders came out following the snowfall in Allentown on Saturday.

“You got to bundle up out here man. I’m telling you it’s cold,” said Gooey Naheem.

Naheem cleared off his car.

“Make sure you get out here, get snow off your car so you can get on and move,” said Naheem.

Naheem said it does not take much to remove this snow.

“You can remove it with a broom, paper plate, whatever you have in your house,” said Naheem.

“We’ve been out here for about three hours,” said Dylan Zandarski, a Lehigh County government worker.

Zandarksi was among the workers shoveling around the Lehigh County Government Center.

“It’s just slushy snow. No ice or nothing, so it’s not as bad as I was thinking,” said Zandarski.

Franis Jimenez said it took awhile to dig out first.

“I shoveled and then I shoveled again and then I shoveled for a third time and then it stopped,” said Jimenez.

But shoveling aside, he said it was the perfect day to get out the snow tubes and sleds.

“I’m very much a snow fan. We have two tubes in the back of our car now because I like the snow. It was really fun,” said Jimenez.

As for Naheem, he said he is not as much of a snow fan.

“Don’t you wish you were in Miami right now,” said Naheem.

PennDOT said it still has crews out treating the roads and that speed restrictions that were in place have been lifted.
