Ok, let’s just get something clear from the get go. This was a storm. This was a pretty bad storm. But, we’ve had a lot worse storms in the past. So you ask, what made this storm so freakin’ bad? It was the lack of removal.
It started snowing on Tuesday night. It finally stopped late Wednesday night. We have only had 1 snow plow come down our street and it was at 2:30pm on Wednesday. I made it to work after a 40 minute drive Thursday morning. Our parking lot did not even start to get plowed until 10:30am on Thursday (we open @ 6am) , and when I left yesterday (Friday) at 3:30pm, they were still working on it. Interstates 81 & 80 have been closed for over 3 days. I can never remember them being closed for more than a few hours.
The worst part about all of this is that we pay taxes, which increase every year, to have these “services” provided to us. Is that is the case, then why did I have to go out yesterday with my snow blower and clear out the end of my street so that my wife could make it home without getting stuck?
