Neighbors,

We'd appreciate it if you took a couple moments to tell us what tell what you think is working well about SnowCrew and where we need to focus our attention to make it better. 

Here is an idea of the kind of feedback we are looking for:

2. If you signed up to be notified when someone near you requests help, how…

Neighbors,

A massive snow storm is expected to hit Boston this Friday and dump 1 to 2 feet of snow!
