In the picture there are remnants of a prior snow storm. The snow shown in the picture looks mostly melted, but there is some remaining piles on the sidewalk near the road. Near the man’s rear foot shown in the picture you can see a can see a dingy, and wet cardboard box flattened to be used as a potential shelter, or place to sleep…
