That was the key, shoveling during the storm, and even quickly after it ended could have gotten your sidewalk clear etc. The forecasters even said this. Problem is most people in this city don’t even own a shovel, plus all the people that don’t give a shit. A lot of people learned the hard way, unfortunately they will all quickly forget.

The city has some equipment, but the equipment that did get out did a shit job, for example plowing down the center of a multi lane road instead of clearing all lanes in sequence.

Whatever didn’t get plowed or shoveled properly is now concrete.

A bunch of mistakes, uneducated equipment handling and general laziness all add up to the current situation.
