They have the capability to fix a bunch of these issues and inexplicably have not been doing all that work and will somehow get it done tomorrow.  (Things have been pretty steady state since about Thursday/Friday in my neck of the woods at least.  Not any significant improvement.)

Things won’t look much different Tuesday.

I guess we will see.

I’m fine with it since they committed to Tuesday open.[/quote]

The heavy equipment has been working to dig out the county. And they will continue to make progress.

It’s a lot of very hard snow. It’s not a trivial operation.

It’s not at all trivial.  County facilities were all open Wednesday.  So all those lots and entrances had been cleared.  (They know how to clear a lot by the way and the snow is put in reasonable places.). The county has a snow removal plan and has been saying it is in phase 4 for days now…which is they have hit all primary, secondary, and residential streets at least once and they open a comment form to field specific issues sent in by residents. Were all these  “heavy equipment”  resources working all weekend?  I was out and driving a bunch this weekend (sports were alive and well) and saw zero plows at work.  I didn’t even see small equipment at work or manpower digging out, which I’d seen plenty during the week.  Maybe others did.  I’d be interested to hear.

I suspect most everyone took the weekend off.    Which I can live with but tell us Friday afternoon you’re closed Monday and Monday you’ll be bringing out the big guns to tackle xyz.  Tell us you don’t have the money to pay all the overtime for weekend work or contractors.  Just say the truth.  Why wait until Sunday?

APS brings this on themselves by not being more transparent.  The county is very transparent about its snow removal plan, method, and operations.  Their snow removal map with the plows moving around is great.[/quote]
