[Summit] Side Street Plowing

[Breslers]

Hello Friends & Neighbors,

At the governor's press conference yesterday/Tuesday
which included plowing reports,
he mentioned it would be "a while" before side streets were done.
He said plow drivers had worked around the clock at that point,
and needed a short break . . . then they would be hard at it again.
There was a lot of even major stuff not done yet.

I now live in Pawtucket and we are the same.
The only few small streets plowed, and those one lane only,
are streets commonly used by fire & ambulance.

It is frustrating!! yes,  but understandable if you think about it.
The main streets require snow REMOVAL
There is no way the volume of snow from two or three lanes can be just
pushed aside.
Not to mention piles already there from before.

Filling trucks and taking it away is slow going.
There are not limitless employees & equipment.
Even with getting assistance from Connecticut.

I try to focus on the blessing that our weather bomb was SNOW,
NOT flooding or fire.
We are mostly ok, just inconvenienced.

The governor also stressed if some one needed to get out for a medical
necessity
not just an emergency, like for dialysis or other treatments,
they should call their local town/city hall to arrange to get the help they
need.

He also reminded us to look out for our neighbors.

Remembering how much I wanted the 95° heat to go AWAY last summer!
