I've snow idea what the problem is.

Ok, so to provide an example of what I meant in my previous post. We took our kids for some sleding action a couple of days ago on a street not far from us. When we got there three people were out in the street a ways from us and one was not happy. Well it turns out that two of the three were from the streets dept. of the city the other was a very upset woman raising Cain about how...wait for it...the snow plows plowed the snow she had shoveled into the street right back into her driveway. To the guys credit they were polite and respectful struggling to explain what she did wrong and how to fix it. Ya, she wasn't to receptive about that. She obviously does not subscribe to the "work smarter, not harder."
Just for the record, it has been years since my street has been plowed within a week of it snowing. Thanks guys, good job.
