Many residents were out Monday still digging out from last week's snowfall.

Khadesa Thompson said she had been trying to dig out for two days. When News 12 Brooklyn talked to her, she had already spent two hours trying to dig out and said it had been horrible.

When trying to dig out from the snow, it's important to remember to use your legs and not your back. Also, make sure that you are not throwing the snow back on the street.
