Brian5671 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 if I had ice sleet and snow on my hill I would want it plowed, enough cars have crashed at the bottom to fill a junk yard since I lived here. Sensing some epic jealousy here,lol I got just as much as you all and I still think it's ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensing some epic jealousy here,lol I'd save my jealousy for more than an inch or two of wet snow. I was merely pointing out how inefficient most towns view plowing less than 2 inches of snow...they usually just sand/salt for amounts less than that. Can't believe you would even say something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 What a waste of time and money to plow lol. It will be gone by sun down. Taunton left 4 inches of snow on the roads earlier this year because we we're expecting rain and warm temps the next day. That worked out fine. I suppose every town has different policies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when the kindergarten kids get dropped off by the school buses at 11:50 today..and the roads are snow/ice covered and 1) someone falls and gets hurt 2)the buses can't make it up the hills 3) a bus slides off the road. and the town is sued by parent(s) for not making the roads safe..then what?

Can't believe you would even say something like that. The state is notorious for plowing when they should not. All season long they have come out when not necessary, scraping the pavement (I live on a state road). All I can think is that there is some workers union component in there making this happen. It is very disheartening knowing that the state always complains about their plowing budget and nonsense like this happens all season long. Although today I have not seen a plow come by.

Can't believe you would even say something like that. Greenfield DPW has a 2"+ plow rule. Under that and you will only see sanders at most but we're a little tougher up here in the NW territories of SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But under 2 inches is managable with salt and/or sand. Yeah they left the sideroads completely untouched. At the time I was pissed, but it is what it is. I thought most towns had it in contracts with private operators that they don't plow unless there is greater than 2 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deserved to get hurt if that's the case. 2) Buses can make it up 1.5" of slush where tires go right to the pavement. Sounds like Tolland has no safety precautions if bus tires are bald. 3) Bald tires by poor oversight of Tolland school district will cause buses to slide.
