[quote=Anonymous]For a city that gets barely any snow, the city has a *massive* number of snowplows. I bet the city of Cleveland doesn't own 300 snowplows. Equipment does not seem to be the issue. And typically DC over-responds to snow forecasts, dumping three inches of snow melt on the road because flurries are expected. But here we are on Thursday, four days removed from the last snow, and the plowing job seems terrible. "The snow team will engage in a full deployment, consisting of more than 300 heavy and light plows. Heavy plows (six- and 10-wheel dump trucks) treat highways, streets, bridges, ramps, and other elevated structures, and light plows (pick-up trucks) treat smaller streets." https://dmped.dc.gov/release/mayor-bowser-%C2%A0deploy-district-snow-team%C2%A0ahead-%C2%A0major%C2%A0winter-storm-and-extreme-cold[/quote]
