More Snow!

Four consecutive school canceling snow days last week (Tuesday through Friday).

And most of the smaller school districts were still closed this morning (Monday, 2/7/2011).

Snow clearance off the main highways and in the parking lots around here is based on people driving around to reduce it to slush, and wait until it melts.  Not so good when you have multiple arctic fronts through like we are having this year, I was out of the house on Saturday, some of the parking lots were two inches deep in melt water, so now have refroze with an inch or two of ice.

The Manager on duty at one of the local McDonald's gave me a "Not my Job" look when I suggested he might have had his crew out in the parking lot for thirty minutes to at least push the slush to the side when it was liquid last Saturday afternoon.  So now they have four inches or so of (hard) frozen slush on top of the inch of ice in their parking lot.

With sub freezing temperatures all day today, and more snow forecast for Wednesday
