[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What have these people been up to all week? I get that this snowcrete is hard to clear but every shopping center and office building in the county has managed to do it!![/quote]

They all probably paid top dollar to private contractors.  The county, and more specifically the school system, cannot really do that without budget meetings and votes.  I mean it's not the most effective way of doing things but it's how local government pretty much everywhere is set up to operate.  I have heard all the rumors that private companies have reached out to MCPS to offer help and that MCPS has ignored them but I bet that probably has to do with the fact these local companies are probably charging 500% of what they normally would.[/quote]

Our small elementary school already has a small utility tractor with a snow plow. While not very practical for the parking lots, it made quick work of the sidewalks. I don't know how common that is.  Even if it's unusual, they only needed to use it for a couple of hours, and those are relatively easy to transport between sites.[/quote]

School sidewalks seemed to be done pretty quickly in my trip around the Germantown/Gaithersburg/Montgomery Village area.  Even schools that had untouched parking lots and bus loops had cleared sidewalks[/quote]
