Millions are digging out including the residents of Hamden, Connecticut where 40 inches of snow fell. Nearly half the roads in Hamden, Connecticut are still impassable. Thomas Rossler is clearing more than three feet of snow from around his home.

"There's a lot of roads around here they haven't even touched yet," Rossler said. "People can't get out."

Some residents believe the town should have been more prepared.

"Well, there is a time where, as prepared as you are, Mother Nature deals you a card that you cannot manage, and that is the case with this storm," said Mayor Scott Jackson of the City of Hamden.
