I don't start til Nov. 1st

So after an early snow fall the major cities in this province and needless to say the Highways department are not cut off guard but just inept in thinking Mother Nature is going to wait until Nov. 1st before she delivers the first major snow fall of the autumn season.  What kind of bureaucracy do we put up with in this Province.  Even though the warnings were days in advance that the lovely white stuff was coming it appears our governments disregarded the need for swift action.  Didn't these folk get the sense from last years blizzard that the public as a whole want immediate action when these storms happen, not wait 4 days to hopefully have the sun melt the roadways back to good driving conditions.  Just the mere number of accidents that occurred in one day surely would pay for the additional expenditure on sanding crews.   Maybe they were just relying on the grime that has been left on the streets all summer to add some grit to the roads.  Time to put away the street cleaners and bring out the plows.

  1. The city had crews out salting and sanding the day after it snowed. If you expect there to be snow removal crews out there right after every snow fall I hope you are willing to pay a lot more in taxes. Also, what does "cut off guard" mean?
