This happens to me EVERY time, but it isn't just the snow. It is the layers of hard, packed slushy stuff that weighs 2 tons per shovel-full that they throw onto the drive way and sidewalk (and living on the corner makes it horrible).

Then they tell me that I can NOT throw this back towards the street, what am I supposed to do with it? It is already unsafe to try and leave my drive way.

GRRRRRRRRR..........

That's all I have to say.

I was just going to comment on how WELL THEY DID!! We live on a cul-de-sac also and granted the driveway was plowed in but, what else can we complain about??

They did a GREAT JOB cleaning the streets!!

We have a Bobcat to clean all the excess but, the roads were great!! Just wet!!

Hats off to the snow plowers!!! We wouldn't have been able to go anywhere!

We got spared today, but usually they come by when we are all done and I run out there as quickly as possible because the longer it sits the harder it is to get out.

We have a curve in our street, we always get dumped on by the plows. I don't get mad at the guys, but it is frustrating.

We had to call them one night because a tree branch cracked and they came within 1 hour and cut it down. Then by 7:00 a.m. they cleared away the tree branches as if nothing happened. Another time, we had a watermain break on the street and they came out at 11:00 a.m. and worked until 2:00 a.m. fixing it. I made them a bananna bread and coffee for a break.

OMGosh, you wouldn't believe the yelling that our staff takes from the residents. They take a lot of abuse.

I'm always calling them up and cracking jokes. One time, I phoned up and said I wanted the trees trimmed from my parents house to the park, because we couldn't see all the fireworks. There was a long pause and then she said "Is this wfbdoglover", we both burst out laughing. But sadly, that was a good example of what these resident would complain about.

I Live in Walworth County, And recently over the past two storms we have had our mailbox peeled off of it's stand. Very annoying since saturday I saw the mail go flying in the wind with the mailbox. I Hope there was nothing important in there. I know they have to do their jobs and I do respect that just leave my mailbox alone. If it were me tearing out one of their mailboxes you better bet I would be held responsible, as it should be, now they can replace mine I have done that once already this season I should not have to do it everytime it snows. This has only happened this year never before have we had a problem.

I think this is case of they are dammed if they do and dammed if they don't. No matter what kinda of job they do, someone out here will not not be happy.
