Snowmageddon: The Epilogue – Update
If, like me, the street you live on is still an iced-over death trap, you haven’t received mail for a week and a half, and Santa didn’t visit this year, you can call the city at 206-386-1218, to ask (beg, plead, barter your first born child) that they send a snow plow your way. I spent an hour on auto-speed-dial, trying to get through, before giving up, so I can’t tell you whether you get to speak to a real, live human, but if you manage it, please do share. And let us know what happens! I’m a bit skeptical that a plow will arrive in my ‘hood (east of White Center), before our climate steps in to take care of it.
Update: I got through on the DOT line at 11:50 AM on Saturday. At 3:45 PM, a truck with a scraper attached to the front puttered up my street, scraping off just enough snow and ice that we were able to get the car out. We stood on the front porch and cheered – groceries!
Some of the roads are too narrow due to parking that they will not be plowed.
be careful what you wish for – a plow finally came down our street last night…at 4am. It wasn’t a full sized plow, but a little caterpillar construction thingy with a plow attachment. It had to keep backing up to get around traffic circles, so I got to here crunch crunch crunch….beep beep beep….crunch crunch crunch…for about an hour or so, and the result is pretty pathetic. Definitely not worth being kept awake in the middle of the night on the day before the roads are supposed to be cleared by mother nature anyway. grr.
Ha ha snow. I love reading about you northwesterners and your snow storm. Here in Vegas everything’s as mild as usual, I did a 2 hour hike today it was about 50 degrees. Pleasant. Ah schadenfreude.
