Agree, but if the Numbnuts had,had it shifted when it was soft n not frozen solid, i wouldn't have as much reason to slag em off.

There is a point to cleaning off exess snow ... when the warming trend comes along, as it will (like here, next week) the less snow around on the sidewalks, the quicker they will melt clean. They should also be blading the snow, and trucking it out to some convenient dump.

Starting about midnight, large graders blade the snow on the main streets into long lines (like immense lines of gritty, grey cocaine) ... then along come the large tractor-mounted snow blowers which blow this into waiting trucks ... all the city trucks, and the ones rented from private contractors. It is then trucked out to snow dumps. Kingston is an old city, well it is in Canadian terms, and the streets are narrow; so the snow can't be left at the side of the road for Spring to deal with. They quit at about 6:00 am so that they don't interfere with the morning commute. It's effective, and minimally disruptive. It is, however, expensive.
