[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I'm a teacher and the county didn't bother to salt any of the roads last night, so now I'm dealing with the fact that I live at the bottom of a big hill - a big hill of solid ice. No idea how I'm going to get into work this morning, especially since I have to be there earlier than the kids. Also not sure how the bus is going to get up that hill. The county is taking a huge risk here. This is not safe. [/quote]

Tip from a former Seattle resident (the whole city is big hills): when snow is in the forecast, drive your car to the top (or bottom) of the big hill the night before, and park it there overnight. You can walk the hill if you have good shoes, then all of your driving is on flat ground. [/quote]

Maybe the county could also have different bus stops for snow days that aren’t at the top or bottom of hills, if feasible to have alternate locations a reasonable walk away. [/quote]

Now we will know the Seattle transplants are the ones blocking the plows on the public roads.  As PP noted, we do have the worst drivers in the nation all come to metro DC.[/quote]

Oh good lord, you guys really are a bunch of whiners here. One inch of snow is not going to be a problem for "blocking the plows". We're talking about the scenario where the roads are mostly fine but one hill might be a little slippery.  And in case it wasn't obvious, of course one should park in a legal parking spot, not the middle of the road. [/quote]
