When I had a newborn 3 years ago we had a huge storm. We finally got our street plowed after days at like 1am. I remember I wrote on the county's FB page a big thank you and said I didn't even mind that they woke the baby up. They apologized for waking the baby

By all means, call the county and report the plows. Do it. See how fast they tag you as crazy.

White noise machine.

11 pm is the ideal time to “plow” lol

We may live in the same city (based on your use of cm and plowing description)! First it's plowing the roads, then the sidewalks, then they clear the snowbanks (a big middle of the night affair with line ups of beeping trucks) and then they move to the side street (we live on a corner) and do it all over again. If we're lucky it's done before the next storm.

Roads need to be cleared. Tough luck about you kid. You would be the first person to complain if they didn't plow your street.

Yes, it would be much better if they didn't bother.

Wait - you you think that regardless of how much has been plowed, the municipalities should stop plowing when it gets "too late," without regard for what the roads will look like for school and work commutes the following morning?

You're an idiot.

I knew you were gong to get a lot of flack. By 11pm my kids (at all ages) where out to the point that noise outside would not wake them up. Have you tried a white noise machine in their room(s)? It can drown out a lot of noise if they are such light sleepers.

If you think about it today I think you will realize that you do want the plows to do their jobs. If one of your sweet babies needed help and you needed to get out you'd appreciate that the roads where plowed.

Why don't you call the police and complain about the noise, OP? It's part of living here on snow day.

Haha, op, I get it. Trying to work from home yesterday when I just got my toddler down for a nap and the plow truck went by, I felt fear and desperation about it waking up the kid.

MY BAAAAAAABBBBBYYYYYY MY BAAAAAABBBBBBYYYY THE WHOLE WORLD IS MY BAAAAAAABBBBBYYYY!!!

I guess you have no where to be tomorrow, or you would appreciate that they’re out clearing the roads while you’re home, comfortable in your bed, with your family all around you.

I guess there’s also that little point that no one wants to pay them to clear multiple times, so they have to come out in the middle of the night if that’s after the snow event.

Maybe look at why your children are so in need of perfectly dark, quiet conditions to sleep?

I really wish STFU Parents was still an active blog, this would be great fodder for it.

It is! To me, it is the sound of the city.
