I'm sorry you have to deal with it. Good for you that your cold weather is done. We are expecting our 6th snow storm in as many weeks and the City hasn't been coping well. Many of our roads and parking lots are literally like ice rinks. I've never seen it like this before. So many falls and injuries and accidents. People are fed up. Finally the city has dispatched ALL workers to help clean up the mess.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-34048026175583013312017-01-04T23:48:35.319-05:002017-01-04T23:48:35.319-05:00Sigh.
