Snow clearing good news

Well, apparently the city scrapped their delayed snow removal scheme after bad results:

Hopefully this means less slippery side streets for the rest of the winter. But it still doesn't take much to be bad on a bike: that light dusting we got last week compressed to ice on the side streets, making me do a slip-slide so...

I made it to work today without problems. No slippage yet, but it is still coming down.

I hope they take better care of us than they did during that one blizzard we had last month.

Awesome!!!! I think I saw them open up for Blue Cheer in 1968. EASILY one of the most underrated bands of the era! ;-)

I've been licking the mad hatter and nothing is happening. I'm doing this wrong (maybe i need a higher resolution screen). ;-) Dance Monkey, DANCE!

That depends on which side of the screen you're licking.

I did think I was tripping tonight when I noticed I was riding on salt up my little side street tonight, when that white dusty stuff was coming out of the sky. Sure enough, salted!

I knew I was tripping when I landed....

It should start immediately. I think it only affects overtime work, which may not have been triggered with last night's light dusting. Maybe we'll see a difference with our next significant snow.

My route this morning was quite clear, but I stuck with mostly major streets.
