[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is really pathetic around here how long it takes for snow plows to clear roads as well as how incompetent people are about driving in the snow and shoveling themselves out.

I’m not saying it is an easy cleanup but 24 hrs is already a lot of time for families and schools to handle it.[/quote]

Considering how little snow we get most years, it doesn’t make sense to buy a huge number of plows that will mostly sit unused.  This isn’t Boston.[/quote]

I get that but it still shouldn’t take days!!  24hrs is plenty of time.

A snow plow is just a regular truck with a snow plow attachment in the front.  Snow plows are usually not dedicated vehicles but just trucks where you add on that attachment.  This is really not that expensive.  These trucks get used year round for other things.[/quote]

It did not stop snowing 24 hours ago, its only been 15 hours. [/quote]

Try to keep up.  Many people are saying schools will be cancelled beyond Tuesday.[/quote]

Perhaps you should consider the factors in this particular storm, instead of spouting your "expertise" from living in Michigan.

From the Capital Weather Gang:
"The defining feature of this storm was historic sleet, falling at uncommonly low temperatures. That combination — heavy sleet embedded in deep cold — [b]created a storm that will prove far more disruptive and longer-lasting than a typical snowstorm.[/b]
Usually, when sleet falls, it does so in small quantities, often less than an inch, and at temperatures near freezing. But this storm spilled up to 4 inches of icy pellets, an amount unmatched since at least February 1994, and at temperatures mostly in the teens.
Falling atop 4 to 7 inches of snow, the frozen concoction consolidated to a depth of 6 to 9 inches. But this was no ordinary 6 to 9 inches. [b]The water packed inside was comparable to the contents of a 20-inch blizzard. And with nighttime temperatures forecast to plunge into the single digits for days, the mass will remain frozen solid well into the week.[/b][b] There is no telling when this glacial-like offering will finally melt.[/b]"[/quote]
