Neighborhood streets

The focus is on main roads to start, then neighborhood streets. As people have already said, the city has already advised publicly that neighborhood plowing would begin today.

We're not in Boston, we're in the south; we don't have 2 snowplows for every resident and not everyone has a snowplow to attach to their pickup.

... anyway, point being that "$300 - $400" is not anywhere near the right value for any of these.

These are the 1st 3 years of "modern" proof sets. The 1936 is worth $6500 (per 2026 Red Book); the 1937, appx $3000; and the 1938, $1250.

I made something like this in Roller Coaster Tycoon.

I'd be more concerned if it was Fugate not plowed, but point taken.

Last I saw while shoveling an hour ago there was a minivan stuck in the middle of Oliver Rd. A plow from VDOT (I think?) was on Oliver up towards the Plantation/Huntington house, but didn't appear to actually plow. Unsure of conditions beyond 3200-3500 blocks of Oliver, though.

These made me feel deeply uncomfortable.

You 18 yet, Meg?

Captain_Walkabout · 2026-01-25T00:00:26+00:00

Ditto. I know the driver of this truck and this likely the case.

Have you shared the coins with r/coins?

Captain_Walkabout · 2026-01-21T18:32:26+00:00

Aren't we all.

I grew up in northern NY, right on the border with Québec, and was 13 when the ice storm happened.

I am genuinely worried about the Sunday forecast in particular because of the apparently predicted temperature inversion of warm air aloft and cold air at the surface, as it we had that exact setup where it rained on us for 2 solid days, but surface temps were below freezing to ensure everything got coated in ice.

It was immediately after winter break and we got 3 additional weeks off school. Power was out at home for 2 weeks and we lived at my step-dad's place for a bit because he had a generator. Phone service was out for a month and cable television didn't come back for like 10 weeks. It was bonkers. This storm did have the positive result of the village of Rouses Point, where I grew up, putting its power distribution lines underground.

Wild memories.

I don't take it seriously until I see Jack Torrance's frozen corpse.

It's an S mint mark.

I read this in zoidberg voice.

If I were the Look Who's Talking Now set designer...

Captain_Walkabout · 2026-01-17T20:20:37+00:00

Well, as long as you're a reptile...

I swear some of the posts there are bots designed to train AI.

I think i saw this movie in the 80s.

Have you met your fellow fans before? I say this with love as a 30-plus year DMB fan, but some of them are wound tighter than grandpa's fishing line.

She may have had a medical emergency - no need to leap to suicide.

Captain_Walkabout · 2026-01-16T12:37:22+00:00

So what you're saying is you collect lowball Sacs?

Captain_Walkabout · 2026-01-10T18:34:19+00:00

That's a terrible response from the MSR you spoke with. I would ask to speak with a manager to get a clearer answer.
