Jeff, at least up your way they have the equipement and know how to clear the roads. Here in my small town in South Jersey, they have no clue and don't have the equipement needed for a 20 inch storm. At least this storm wasn't bad, maybe 6 inches most. My son is going to school at the University of Delaware and they don't know how to handle the snow in that town (Newark), either. He said the school was using construction equipment to clear the snow. And to think, he figured he wouldn't have snow problems when he chose to go to UD instead of a school in upstate New York!

My daughter is a UD grad, mechanical engineering 1990, great school!! My son started college in D.C. and when there was a drop of snow, he and some of his friends would stand on the sidewalk watching the cars skidding and not knowing how to handle snow. They had such fun watching.lol sue |

We got approximately 9 inches earlier this week of wet heavy snow. I'm estimating we got about two feet more. Luckily, this was the light fluffy variety of snow. And with snow drifts, the cars were almost buried. Jeff, at least up your way they have the equipement and know how to clear the roads. Here in my small town in South Jersey, they have no clue and don't have the equipement needed for a 20 inch storm. At least this storm wasn't bad, maybe 6 inches most. My wife heard on Channel 7 news that Kiamesha Lake (maybe 5 miles give or take away from us) got 38 inches! No one handles 38 inches! I agree we are equipped to handle snow better than you guys, but that quantity overwhelms us too. In fact our county was in a state of emergency the last few days declared by the county authorities. And you are warmer than us, so your snow melts well before ours. I heard on the radio about the 38 inches upstate NY. That is what I used to hear about from Buffalo, Watertown, but for anyone it is way too much. sue |

True. My brother lives in Lewes DE and they were just done in there with all
the snow they got. The "road crews" such as they were didn't know where to PUT the snow they took off the roads. Here the plow truck dumps it into a big dump truck which when full drives off somewhere prepared to take huge piles of snow. But this is Michigan, and we were used to it. They aren't in Delaware.

SUE:
Our small town did a great job on clearing the snow from the streets,it is the dopes that do not clear their sidewalks that annoy me,and i do not mean the handicapped,or elderly. You can call our town manager and he will have help to those who need it. the ones I mean like my next door neighbor who is only 27 and never shovels a path,but yet sits outside on his cell phone and smokes up a storm. and plays around with a snow blower that he never uses. If my husband who is 82 can shovel the snow ,he should be able to also,he is not sick or unable he is very healthy. cruise lover(~~~~~) .. |
