Snow

Today it snows. Last night all the weathermen prepared us for the big storm interviewing everyone and their neighbor about how they would cope. Gosh... I just don't know what to do. My favorite however, is when they interviewed a salt truck man. He said, "We will have salt on the roads tonight and you won't even know that it snowed."

Well Einstein, salt does not move snow. For some reason, Cincinnati has a total of 5 plows for the city. They think that by salting the roads that will take care of things. Now, coming from a land of snow, where Igloos are built and people wear snowshoes to work, there are plows. When it snows, the front of the truck plows and the back poops out salt. And ya know what? We don't have the problems that this town has. As soon as it starts snowing the plows are on the road. And what happened today would just be another winter day. It is winter. It snows. PLOW THE $%&#ing ROADS!

Okay, and just now the weather people --- "There are 60-80 salt trucks on the road." SALT TRUCKS! AGAIN, SALT DOES NOT MOVE SNOW. No mention of plows... I really don't get it.
