Not far away from Jimenez, Marlon Williams was trying to tackle the heavy lifting. He had to clear his girlfriend's property, which wasn't small. First, he had to shovel before he could use his snowblower.

Around town, most businesses were closed on Tuesday night. The storm even caused some outdoor dining tents to collapse.
Kris Ungvarsky, who was out walking his dog, said he hasn't seen a snowstorm here like this in almost a decade.
