I sure wish they'd thrown some sand/salt down to give a little traction to the icy slick that was left behind. Plows came through westover hills west.

From what I've seen around the H&H area, your experience is not the norm. I guess it depends upon where you live, Tom. From what I’ve seen around the H&H area, your experience is not the norm.

It only hurts your neighbors not the city. BTW Monday evening the plows came through my street and did an excellent job. They scraped so much snow and ice off that by noon when I went home for lunch the street was almost entirely clear. I think the city has actually done a great job.

The argument was raised by readers that sidewalks would be cleared by residents once roads were cleared by the city. I see their point…The road outside of my house is still snow (ice) covered, making me not very interested in going anywhere. Maybe I’m just being a wuss, but I don’t have any desire to fishtail into my neighbor’s parked car. My sidewalks are clear, but the same cannot be said of most of my neighbors’ walks – making walking difficult with a three year old. I’m just sayin’.

It's a real safety problem in these dark days since most walkers don't wear reflective clothing.

No sidewalks in Stratford Hills but I say if they're going to go around writing fines, they should do it in a plow so at least some of the neighborhood streets will be safe.

Felt obligated to do some shoveling only to discover that our snow shovel had broken yesterday (Steve?). Went to the shed and used a flat-edge shovel to smash through three inches of ice.
