At 10th and Ferry streets in Easton, Greg Joseph chipped and scraped at stubborn patches of ice on a sidewalk with a long-handled shovel. He dislodged a chunk of gray-brown ice along the mouth of his driveway and pitched it into a puddle of slush along the gutter.

Nearby, a Cadillac sat buried behind a heap of plowed snow along 10th Street, and beneath a thick blanket of snow that fell Monday. Joseph, in an unzipped jacket, Jerry Garcia T-shirt, rubber boots and mustard-color knit hat, lamented this winter's frequent frozen precipitation, but figured he'd carry on.

"What are you going to do?" Joseph said. "You do the best you can."

That was the overriding theme Tuesday in the Lehigh Valley's three cities.

Ol' Man Winter has tossed about 40 inches of snow at the Valley so far this season, about 9 inches more than the average winter and there is a lot more winter to come. In fact, winter's next pass was expected Tuesday night into Wednesday morning with at least several more inches of snow, then freezing rain to join the legion of snow mucking up side roads and back alleys.

Though compacted snow frozen to roads makes the plowing difficult and travel spotty, the main byways in Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton were mostly clear Tuesday. That isn't to say the roads couldn't be better. A good bit of Chew Street, for example, in the area of Muhlenberg College in Allentown, was still snow-covered late Tuesday afternoon.

The avenues in West Bethlehem are a snow-covered mess; parts of downtown Allentown remained ice-bound; and a lack of room to throw the snow made Lehigh Street in Easton into a series of snow bunkers with sawhorses guarding hard-fought parking spots.

Joseph said Easton's plows are doing what they can.

"They do good," Joseph said. "It's a tough, thankless job."

In Bethlehem, Public Works Director Michael Alkhal said this week's short turnaround between storms stresses the city's resources.

Regardless of what type of gutter system you choose, gutters and roofs need maintenance. If you have open rain gutters, they should be cleaned at least twice a year: in the Spring after trees bud, dropping flowers acorns, and seed pods; and in the fall after they drop their leaves. Depending on weather conditions where you live, an additional cleaning or two may also be necessary.

If you also have a low-sloped roof, even a leaf protection system cannot prevent debris from accumulating on your roof, so with or without a leaf protection system, roof maintenance is required. A simple cleaning with a broom or blower is all that is necessary. Plus, loose debris accumulating on the roof is a fire hazard and is extremely bad for the roof, accelerating wear and backing water up under the shingles.

However, cleaning out your gutters and brushing debris from your roof, though an important task, is not an easy one. Climbing and moving ladders and working several feet off the ground can be dangerous. It requires strength and agility to maintain your personal safety, as well as climbing protection systems or devices. If you cannot do this safely, call a contractor or install a system that offers leaf protection. (see our section on Gutter Guards, Gutter Covers and Gutter Screens).

Tulsa-based Unit Corp. is in a legal battle with an American Indian tribe in Washington state that has claimed sovereignty over an oil and gas lease in Beaver County.

The Kikiallus Nation in January presented Unit with documents from its tribal court threatening to invalidate the company's lease and transfer Unit's right as operator to tribal affiliate TMI Ministries, according to documents filed with the Western District Court of Oklahoma.

Unit has denied the tribe's claims and asked the district court to intervene.

Our arguments are several, Unit General Counsel Mark Schell told The Oklahoman. The lease never expired. We continue to own it. We have no idea how they claim to own it. We don't know who they are. It is not a recognized tribe. It is not a recognized tribal court. It has no jurisdiction over anything in Oklahoma.

Phone calls and emails to the Kikiallus Nation and TMI Ministries were not returned.

The Kikiallus Nation is listed with the Washington State Office of Indian Affairs as a non-federally recognized Indian tribe. Kikiallus is affiliated with the Stillaguamish and Swinomish tribes, which are both federally recognized.

TMI Ministries is listed as a nondenominational religious organization based in Olympia, Wash. Kurt Weinreich is listed as executive director. The organization has the same phone number as Kurt's Amazing Roof and Gutter Cleaning, which has a different Olympia address.

A crew cleaning up a gasoline spill that occurred last November is now into a new phase of the project.

Last week the crew began removing asphalt and concrete curbing on the west side of Saguaro Boulevard between Trevino Drive and a point north of Rough Court.

Town Engineering Inspector Justin Weldy said they are removing 24 to 30 inches of soil that was under the asphalt and testing it for contamination.

In some areas where they find heavier concentrations they will dig deeper.

The gasoline spilled from a ruptured tanker truck in the drive between Circle K and McDonalds on Nov. 17, 2013. About 2,300 gallons of fuel spilled and ran along the gutter to a drainage culvert north of Monterey Drive.

The culvert and a wash on the other side of Saguaro have been restored.

The asphalt absorbed enough gasoline that when the crew attempted to use a milling machine to remove it the equipment ignited a couple of small explosions, according to Weldy.

Depending on the contamination level the work may last up to another six to eight weeks.

The soil will need to be replaced along with the curbing and asphalt.
