[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I mean, honestly how is this not your fault?  Have you never seen snow in your life?

My street had one plow come through and we are fine.

You need to invest in solutions like a car that can handle snow.  Professional snow removal or a snowblower.  Or at the very least learn how to use a shovel.[/quote]

Neither a snowblower nor a shovel works on this stuff.  It's blocks of ice on top of compacted snow.

People need to figure out a way to get themselves out but those that didn't do it themselves need to STFU because this wasn't normal snow.[/quote]

I am shocked that our private was open today given the temps and road conditions, but…

You should have been keeping up with the shoveling early on as everyone recommended. If you waited until it became blocks of ice that’s on you.

I shoveled snow on Sunday, cleared the sidewalk on Monday and the car on Tuesday.  Just because you paid someone doesn't mean you have any idea what the situation was like.

Temperatures haven't been above freezing yet[/quote]

I know exactly what it it's like. My DH, teen, and I all took turns shoveling - including the 3' wall formed by the county plow. Now our sidewalks and driveway are clear and dry.

If you shoveled early and often you would have been fine. Don't get pissy at others - you only have yourself to blame.
