Scotty please, please beam me up!

Another 20 cm is expected on Sunday, and more snow on both Monday and Tuesday as well. Just when you think it's about to get better it does not, and snows yet again.

While I'm on the subject of snow, how many of you that read this blog posting and live in either Wasaga Beach, Collingwood, New Tech., Essa, Clearview, and Springwater have an issue with the snow removal? I HAVE A BIG ISSUE. So here's my rant....

When we had the 70 plus cm dump last week the plowers were going up and down my street once every 4-5 hours which I think was great. However when I started to watch what they were doing they were just driving 90% of the time and not using their equipment. I found this very strange so I started to call around to a few friends of mine in the area and they were telling me that they never saw one snowplower go down their street in over 2 days, and when they finally did show up they were using their machines, but did not put down any sand or salt. That's my issue..They plow the streets but don't put down anything to help melt the snow away. This results in the roads becoming bumpy as the snow freezes, and I feel I'm riding off road everytime I go down a side street. The main street are fine now, but with a major storm heading our way, the roads are just going to get worse.

So my question is why don't they use sand or salt on the side streets, and why don't they use their machines instead of just driving around. I noticed more by-law cars driving around looking to give people tickets for parking on the roads, then plowers..WTF is up with that!!!

Until next time!!
