That's a problem in a lot of cities. For years over half the streets in Philadelphia could not be plowed because the heavy-duty plows the city used could not fit down them. The current mayor however get a bunch of smaller plows funded to do the job. Before that people used to bribe city trash truck drivers, all of which got plows in winter and do fit, to clear their streets.Ghost Rider wrote:yippee....
I still have to slogg through this crap to get to work and then back home...and once again my street is not PLOWED!!!!
Ugh, freezing rain. I hate freezing rain. Freezing rain has got to be one of the worst weather patterns my hometown gets.Kelly Antilles wrote:We had some snow yesterday. It was pretty until it turned all into sleet and freezing rain. The power went out at about 12:30am. I didn't sleep because litterally every 5 minutes we'd here *pop* *crash* as limbs fell everywhere. THose limbs ended up taking out the line to the house, which didn't matter since the transformer was out. However, as of 8am, they hadn't been to check yet. Then again, CP&L had over 500,000 cutomers without power.
I hate ice.

Going rate was around a 100 bucks per block. Someone would just go around and get maybe five bucks from everybody on the street and that would cover it. Most worth while. Though I live out in the suburbs. My street gets local and county plows, it stays clear enough to drive a normal car without tires or chains in all but the worst blizzards.Ghost Rider wrote:Okay that sucks more...and yeah skimmer...I would bribe a truck driver...well my neighbors would...I just don't use the car given DC traffic patterns(who is the fuck nut who though this city made sense?!)Kelly Antilles wrote:We had some snow yesterday.

It was, thank you. I went out and shovelled the driveway, came inside and had a lovely cup of hot chocolate, then drove to the store to get some baking supplies. Today is the perfect day to make chocolate chip cookies, since the Kristinmas decorations are going up and it's still snowing outside. The roads were shit--I think we've gotten about 8 inches. But damn it's pretty.Evil Sadistic Bastard wrote:Sounds tasty. The chocolate, I mean.Zaia wrote:Blah blah snow blah hot chocolate blah pretty blah blah

I'd expect Washington State is glad, with the whole rainforest aspect combine with cold air life would be hell.Howedar wrote:Damnit, how come Oregon doesn't get cool weather?
