[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it impossible to believe there are still streets that are not drivable.  There has to be tire paths you can drive on by now, that you can access with a little shoveling of the path out of your driveway.  Trucks and SUVs are just driving wherever they want.[/quote]

There is no point trying to reason with them. Most of the posters on this thread want schools closed until the last of the snow melts. [/quote]

Our street has seen two plows come through (NW DC) over the entire storm. Most folks do not have driveways, if they do they are accessible from the alley. It took three days to dig out one car on the street and the alley hasn’t had a plow come through nor will it ever. I have a car that is low to the ground and not 4 wheel drive as do most of my neighbors. What about this is so difficult to understand. We are not within walking distance of school.[/quote]

3 days to dig one car out? What are you using a child’s plastic sand shovel? [/quote]

Did you do it? How old are you? Did the snow plow bury your car when it passed through? Are you in direct sunlight or does your side of the street never see sun until summer? [/quote]

Our car is parked in a narrow alley about 60 feet from the exit to the street. It took my husband and myself about three hours to make it passable including breaking the ice wall the plows left on the street. Then we spent about another hour the next day digging out the car. We worked with one metal garden shovel which was critical to break the ice and one plastic snow shovel. It was a good workout. We are 45. The neighbor, living a similar distance from  the other end of the alley paid someone 200 bucks to do it with his mini bulldozer. All to say, it is doable if you want to get it done which is why I am really annoyed by people who did not bother cleaning their sidewalks forcing people to walk on the street.[/quote]
