Saw this on Universal Hub, and realized it wasn’t just my neighborhood that has completely frozen over sides streets. This morning’s roads in the inner regions of Brighton were completely and totally untouched by plow, sand, or salt, leaving a carnival of bewildered twenty somethings attempting to free their cars with pick axe’s, only to spin helplessly in the frozen ice/snow piles that encased their wheels. Good times.
If this was our first “major” storm of the season, shouldn’t we have an ass-pant-load of snow removal budget surplus to…ya know…clean up the snow?

The best thing about parking in the city after a snow storm is that the # of usable parking spaces is basically cut in half. Which is great, because as far as I know the same # of cars need to park w/i the labyrinth of streets which is Brighton.
I just remembered why I hate living in MA in the winter.

[…] I know I pointed this out the other day, but it warrants a follow up. As I mentioned previously, most of the side streets in Boston (particularly in the Allston/Brighton area) were completely unplowed, unsanded, unsalted, and generally left untouched by city workers during this past ice/snow storm last week. How this happens, I am not sure. Did the city just not feel like plowing? Did they think that the slushy combo didn’t warrant the effort? Did no one at the DPW realize what was going to happen when a slush/ice storm is followed by a week of single digit temperatures, and streets go unplowed? […]
