This is very sad. Having seen the images from Long Island yesterday, I can't imagine a snow blower could even make a dent in all the snow that fell. It sounds as though your super was very conscientious, and sadly the job claimed his life.
As he and other staff members often did in the 28 years I have been living here, they would make multiple passes through the snow with their snow blowers so one pass at the end would not end up being insurmountable. When he was making his pass, there was about 6 inches of snow on the ground, an amount the large snowblower could handle. Unfortunately, the weather conditions were more than he could handle this time. He was only 64.
