This town is rediculous. Even though it snows and/or ices every year they don't own a single plow so they use road graders. That will get the job done when and if they ever decide to get them out and actually use them. When they do actually plow the roads they only skim over them, making a smooth sheet of ice out of the packed down snow that has already been driven on for ...at this point 12 hours, but if i had to guess they wont start till tomorrow morning when we have 14 inches of snow on the ground. Apperently our city administrators don't understand what it means to be proactive. All they have done so far is spread sand at a few intersections. If it were the weekend and this storm came from nowhere i would understand, but it's tuesday and this was predicted a few days ago. I don't have a problem driving in these conditions, but my employer doesn't want me or anyone else on the road in their truck in these conditions. Reactive road crews as opposed to proactive means I and many others don't get paid. It is kind of nice to have a random day off though.
