[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't expect people to shovel while it is still snowing.[/quote] That's like saying there's no use in raking when there are still some leaves on the trees. But shoveling is much more important.[/quote] I'm pretty sure those people are SAHMs who actually don't go downtown to work or have never had to walk in the snow in a suit. The concept of snow freezing over tonight because they didn't shovel during the process is one maybe they don't understand. This is why DC is totally unable to deal with a "dusting" [/quote] I am a working mom who went downtown with a suit this morning. I did not shovel because it was snowing hard when I left before 8am this morning. If I was a SAHM mom I could have shoveled some and wait for the snow to stop and prompt shovel more. but I had to go to work and will be at work all day, so I will shovel late this afternoon when i get home. When my office give us a two hours "shoveling delay" I will shovel in the morning[/quote] But sweetie, you (I assume) own a house? Not a business between the metro and a school? Are you not capable of understanding the difference between shoveling the driveway of your house and the sidewalk between the metro and a school building? Or the sidewalk next to the metro? I'm sure you have the critical thinking skills to understand the difference between HOME and RETAIL. Right?[/quote] yes, thanks, I own a house, and have the critical thinking to understand that difference between home and retail. I am not sure about your reading comprehension though. none of the messages before mentioned businesses not shoveling (my experience, and what I saw this morning confirmed, is that businesses and condos usually are the ones that shovel early and well). a person mentioned walking downtown in a suit, and downtown there are many residential areas (Dupont Circle and West End just to mention areas close to K street, where I work). the truly business areas downtown (like K St.) are usually clean. even Jeff mentioned that he shoveled this morning his sidewalk and I doubt he was talking about a retail or business. so next time, before being so rude in a post, you should maybe read posts more carefully [/quote] My condo overlooks 3 business that have not yet shoveled.
