According to Al Schumacher, the Streets Superintendent . . . in your driveway. Here’s his note:
We are expected to get blasted with 6″-12′” of heavy, wet snow with some freezing rain possible when it starts tonight after midnight. Snow is expected to last all day Sunday. It is not supposed to end until late Sunday night into Monday morning.This will be a very trying snow storm to say the least. Our streets will get more narrow than they are now because there is no place for the snow to go. The snow banks are higher than the plows so the snow will just fall back into the street when we plow it narrowing our streets even further. Another side effect of having snow banks this tall is that more snow will stay on the plows and end up filling the driveways. It has to go somewhere and if it can’t fall off on the terraces, it will fall off at the driveways.This will not be quick cleanup either. Once we start plowing residential streets, I expect it to take a lot longer than the normal 10-12 hours because of the amount of snow and the fact that it will be wet and heavy. Extra cuts will have to be made in order to move all the weight.More to come when more plans are made and the storm is actually upon us.
