Residents and road crews alike are cleaning up the snow following Sunday night's blizzard. The process hasn't been easy, but it's all hands on deck to clear as much snow as possible.

Long-time Perth Amboy resident Dimas Morles was hard at work clearing his sidewalk and parking spots.

"It might take us maybe an hour, an hour and a half," Morles said, "...let me tell you one thing, this is kind of rough. Worse than before.”

Morles isn't alone. His whole street was filled with community members cleaning up.

Across the street, 15-year-old Jeremiah Santana was putting his snow day to good use, cleaning the sidewalk for his neighbors who were stuck behind their gate.

"We are stuck on this side of the fence because the snow is very high," Abraham Mendoza said. "Right now, we can’t leave our house. We can’t go anywhere. Luckily, we have groceries, but if we didn’t, we’d be stuck.”

Thankfully, Santana's hard work paid off. Some of Mendoza's sidewalk was clear, and part of his gate was freed as well.
