Snow and Sewage

Everybody in my apartment complex woke up to two surprises today. There was a sprinkling of snow on the ground(but it doesn't look like it will stick) and our lounge had flooded. There have been work crews doing work up and down our street. I think they are fixing some electrical cable or something. Anyway, yesterday they were working outside of our complex and broke a pipe. They thought that the water pouring down the sidewalk was the only problem until we discovered that when they broke the pipe all of the sewage backed up and flooded our lounge. It's super gross and nobody is allowed in today so no mail until they get it fixed. It looks like the men have finally fixed the pipe outside and the water damage cleaners are parked outside so here's hoping that we can get our mail and do laundry tomorrow!
