School Cancelation

[Anonymous]

Even if schools aren’t cancelled, most of us can’t even get out of the house. A snowplow hasn’t even come into my neighborhood in Bethesda. And whatever I cleared of driveway yesterday looks like I did nothing yesterday.

Clearing this from parking lots and such is going to be so hard. The crust of ice on top is thick and it will get worse day by day with no melting.

People who didn’t shovel during and/or were out of town are just going to give up. Clearing their sidewalks today will be so difficult especially if a lot of people have walked on it.

We didn’t touch it at all yesterday. Cleared sidewalks and street-parked cars this morning by clearing off the ice layer then sweeping the fluffy snow underneath. It did take 90 mins. The snowplowed snow was heavy but that wasn’t something we could have avoided by shoveling yesterday.

I’m not saying it is an easy cleanup but 24 hrs is already a lot of time for families and schools to handle it.

Considering how little snow we get most years, it doesn’t make sense to buy a huge number of plows that will mostly sit unused. This isn’t Boston.

I get that but it still shouldn’t take days!! 24hrs is plenty of time.

A snow plow is just a regular truck with a snow plow attachment in the front. Snow plows are usually not dedicated vehicles but just trucks where you add on that attachment. This is really not that expensive. These trucks get used year round for other things.

For sure they will. No way to even get out of the neighborhood.

Perhaps you should consider the factors in this particular storm, instead of spouting your "expertise" from living in Michigan.

From the Capital Weather Gang:
"The defining feature of this storm was historic sleet, falling at uncommonly low temperatures. That combination — heavy sleet embedded in deep cold — created a storm that will prove far more disruptive and longer-lasting than a typical snowstorm.
Usually, when sleet falls, it does so in small quantities, often less than an inch, and at temperatures near freezing. But this storm spilled up to 4 inches of icy pellets, an amount unmatched since at least February 1994, and at temperatures mostly in the teens.
Falling atop 4 to 7 inches of snow, the frozen concoction consolidated to a depth of 6 to 9 inches. But this was no ordinary 6 to 9 inches. The water packed inside was comparable to the contents of a 20-inch blizzard. And with nighttime temperatures forecast to plunge into the single digits for days, the mass will remain frozen solid well into the week. There is no telling when this glacial-like offering will finally melt."

There is no such thing as competent snow driving. If you think you are smarter than the elements....

I have lived places where we drive in the snow very regularly. You don’t drive at half the speed limit with your flashers on when the roads are already plowed and treated. Good lord people are dumb.

Bro, you’re so cool. Tell me more about how much better you are at winter driving.

You are imagining things. Just use common sense and don’t cause any accidents.
