[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is a textbook example of the fact that the wealthier someone is, the more asocial they are. They’ve got theirs, f*ck everyone else. Elderly? A child? A dog? Have to work? They don’t care. [/quote]

I think you are underestimating the reality of this snowstorm. The ice on top of the snow is too heavy for many people to shovel.

My otherwise healthy 56 year old husband said he can’t handle the shoveling anymore. He did the best he could, but we aren’t risking his life so someone can walk their dog. Nobody on our street walks to work or public transportation. Kids are driven to school in cars.

And since our street hasn’t been plowed, nobody can drive into the neighborhood to shovel.

Snow blowers aren’t working on the heavy ice either. [/quote]

It's only "too heavy" if you waited to shovel it. There was a reason why everyone recommended shoveling early and often.

Incorrect. I shoved twice Sunday. Tried de-icing and shoveling the two-inch sheet of ice with zero success. Just spent 25 minutes on my lunch break with pickaxe and finally made progress, but covered at most 15% of the driveway/walkway. I’m exhausted but I’ll do another session later today. [/quote]
