"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
16 January 2007That name again is Mr PlowOklahoma City has designated Snow Routes which actually get plowed; if you venture anywhere else, you're on your own. I live near Northwest 50th Street, which is not a Snow Route. What's more, the city, having been hit hard twice this season — just over halfway through January, we've had about 75 percent of our annual winter-precipitation average — is way over its snow-removal budget. Just the same, when I pulled onto 50th this morning, the weekend's Slabs O'Sleet were piled up on the shoulder: they'd actually plowed the street, at least from Villa west. I didn't recognize it at first, simply because I'd never seen such a thing before on 50th. To whoever it was who approved this unprecedented move, thank you. Good ole' Mr. Plow. What we need here is the Plow King! Pretty sad when I immediately recognized your title. Too much TV... Posted by: scooby214 at 8:08 AM on 16 January 2007One problem though . . SW59th =is= a snow route but it was not plowed and then they did the north side of the street but not the south! Plus how many have you seen stuck in the piled up dreck they scraped off which effectively blocked driveways and side streets :( Posted by: ms7168 at 9:11 AM on 16 January 2007They were out yesterday in full force with all kinds of heavy equipment, plowtrucks, raod gaders, front end loaders. I think they decided to wait until Mon afternoon because Tue is a work day, and some of the ice started turning to slush and was actually able to be scraped.
