You shovel it...you own it!
It's a Boston tradition that if you shovel out a parking space on the street then it's yours. As long as there is still snow on the street you can reserve it, usually with a chair or a trashcan. It worked out pretty well for us during this past snowstorm as we ended up with a space right at our front door. Then the mayor announced that trash crews would remove all markers still on the street as of yesterday morning. I had images of someone swiping our spot and me having to park a block away and trudge through the dirty snow with all three kids in tow. I'm still using the chair just like most of the people around here and so far so good.
