i am totally one to love the snow. i love watching it fall, i even love shovelling the darn thing. let's put it this way... out of all the 'chores' that i can do, i would rather shovel snow... and soon, i can mow the lawn... which is another one of the thing that i actually enjoy doing!
i can tell spring is coming, not only because today was +5. not because i've been seeing people in shorts and no coats... but because my moat is forming. yes, i said moat. i live on the side of the street without the sidewalk. so when the city desides to do snow removal... they move it all to one side... and pile it up between driveways. in the winter time, this is fine, the kids love the big hill... sledding into the street?! in the spring, it's terrible. it gets warm... the snow melts. the water has no where to go. the sewer drain is about 6-7 houses down, but the water doesnt go anywhere because there are huge piles of snow blocking it. my kids think it's great... PUDDLES!! SPLASHING!! good thing for rubber boats. but anyone coming to visit, and doesn't park on the driveway... is screwed... unless they too, are wearing rubber boots!
please city... find the time and money to remove the ice hills you've located inconviently on our nice new grass... that blocks the water from flowing into the sewers.
thank-you.
