For once the forecasters nailed it. Snow. A lot of it – and high winds to boot. Greenbelters, after a serious raid on the coop (where would we be without the Co-0p?) mostly hunkered down and waited it out. Emerging Sunday morning to brilliant sunshine, they began the process of digging out.
Meanwhile the city – which appears to have an almost religious zeal when it comes to snow – engaged battle on Friday, prepping for the storm. Throughout the night and while we slept, city plows and crews stayed up with the snow, keeping the roads clear and battling the snowy drifts that opposed their efforts.
When we hear from other jurisdictions that their smaller roads won’t be cleared until Thursday, we’re more than ever proud of Public Works and all the dedicated staff who worked so hard for us.
