[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We knew freezing rain was a possibility. They should have had a crew out on Sunday dealing with snow when it was powdery and then dripping ice melt. You wouldn’t have this impossible mess if you planned ahead. 
And the county seriously has to talk to the schools. I walked by the MS near me. The long stretch of sidewalk in front of it is clean but you can’t access the sidewalk due to the huge piles of snow blocking the entry points. 
And since I am out walking a lot, I can see how those that put some extra effort in on Sunday aren’t dealing with an ice block mess this week. This storm wasn’t a surprise.[/quote]

I think it just took everyone by surprise. The county has only so many snow plows and lets say they all made passes on Sunday but never got to finish a final pass on Sunday, those roads would have had ice on Monday which would take extra effort.

From all the various threads here and on reddit that I read - if the driveway was cleared on Sunday after the storm and ice melt was put you were good. Second best scenario was not shoveling anything at all on Sunday and tackling it on Monday. Last and worst case was if you partially did something on Sunday and let that freeze overnight on Sunday. This is for driveways but same case for roads.

We have to drop off our kids at a bus stop and there is no sidewalk to even see now since nothing has been cleared. It is dangerous to have 10 kids on a narrow stretch of road that has been cleared early in the morning with a mound of snow next to the stop and no sidewalk.

Our neighborhood road is now single lane only but we are lucky that we have that access to the main road while many others are not so fortunate.
