The snow plows. We barely give them a notice when it's snowing and they are out there, only when it's snowing and they aren't there do we notice. This past week, here in Sturbridge, they have been there.
Thank you, DPW.
I live on Route 148, and we get a good deal of traffic most days. During the storms the road was plowed, and sanded regularly. Oh, I guess there could be some more salt / sand thrown down on the hill leading to the intersection with Route 20 since it is very easy to slide down the hill and out into the on coming traffic, and going up the incline is tough for some vehicles, but all in all, the road was well taken care of.
We took a short drive on Sunday morning after buying the paper, and from what I could see, the roads were in good shape, and the plows were out there.
I experienced, first hand, the commuters nightmare this past Thursday on the way to Boston (it took me six hours) and the only plows I saw were westbound on the Pike in Auburn. That's it. 6 inches of snow on the eastbound side, little, if any, traffic till Weston, and not a plow to be seen.
Well, whatever the Pikes reason for neglecting the road was, it means little now. More importantly, our roads were in good shape. The plow drivers were on the road for hours and hours between Thursday and Sunday.
I noticed, and again, thank you.
Amen! These guys work around the clock and really do a fantastic job that none of the rest of us would do, we're all fast asleep while their out plowing. Thanks to Greg Morse and his Staff!
