Doug Kelly was busy with his shovel Sunday morning. But he wasn't clearing the sidewalk outside his salon, Blue, in Haddon Township. He was creating a huge pile of snow to make into a giant snowman.
"During the last snowstorm I saw an eight-foot snowman in Collingswood," said Kelly, dressed in a long-sleeved shirt with a warm fleece vest. "I think that if Collingswood could have a snowman then Haddon should have a snowman."
South Jerseyans learned to cope with the winter storm that dumped record-breaking amounts of snow in the region, with parts of Cherry Hill seeing just over 27 inches.

New Jersey lawmakers are considering a bill to abolish the Council on Affordable Housing that decides how many affordable homes each town must provide under a court mandate -- and they have the support of many local towns.
The measure would let municipalities decide whether they have fulfilled their obligation to provide affordable housing and let towns and cities decide how to plan for it.

It's been the kind of weather that calls for a trip for the Caribbean.
But if you can't afford the flight, at least treat yourself to a nice bowl of soup or chili.

Joanne Mortimer remembers the hustle and bustle of Main Street in her lifelong hometown of Maple Shade. Mortimer, 59, said that changed about 40 years ago when malls were on the rise.
But the chairwoman of the town's "renaissance committee" believes the street can come back to life.
"I think it can be revitalized with the right stores coming in and a place for kids to go," she said.
Maple Shade's business association, a Main Street community group, township officials and other volunteers are working to build the downtown resident base, attract new retail and lure other businesses.
Maple Shade, Woodbury and Medford are three tri-county towns turning to the development of a cornerstone building to be a catalyst for main street regeneration. Other towns, such as Moorestown and Mount Holly, are also developing plans to spruce up their key avenue.
Successful main streets often define their towns.
They can stimulate and stabilize a town's economy, decrease property tax burdens, boost housing market values, create local jobs and attract and retain residents.
But experts say a constant struggle is shared among leaders who are pursuing their communities' unique main street identity.
