re: #214 Lidane

The usual winter pattern in NYC is big snowstorm, days in the 40s, everything melts, you have clear ground for a while, and then another big snowstorm hits. Lather, rinse, repeat.

But this winter, the whole “days in the 40s” part went away, so we’ve just had storm after storm add more to the existing pile. Walk around in the park and you can actually feel your foot go through the various layers, since they have different consistencies, with different coatings of ice between.

That’s fine for a park, but the streets just get nasty and slippery, and the street sweeping has been suspended for 2 weeks, so they’re just turning into piles of garbage. And people think the snow is license to not clean up after their dogs….

We really, really need the big melt. It’s coming this week. It just can’t get here fast enough.
