Winter pet peeve
 

Now that the car thread is almost beaten to death I have another one after I just shoveled out my sidewalk and part of my driveway (would have did all of it but didnt want to have a heart attack :lol:)

The people who think its a good idea to throw the snow back into the street. its actualy illegal here but rareley enforced, not many people do it around here but a lot of fucktards in brooklyn were doing it after the blizzard which made the streets even more impassable. I do like seeing a plow go by and plow those fuckers back in though

Yep I hate them to especially when you're driving by and they throw the shit at your car like it doesn't matter.

They try that shit around here and the plow driver will deliberately drop 3 feet of snow at the end of their driveway and pack that shit down like you wouldn't believe. You'd be chipping out with a freakin' jackhammer.

I've seen it done :lol:

These are the small plows - the bigger ones are multi-axle monsters

^^^^:rofl: :rofl:^^^^

We almost never get enough snow for the plows to actually accumulate any of the diverted snow :rockwoot:

Side note: On the news every night here, they whine and cry about how we've already blown thru our salt/snow moving budget and there's still 54 more days of spring.

I'm so damn tired of hearing that!

I wish I had a scanned pic of the highway department building in Oswego, NY where I went to college :lol:

I remember all the people from LI coming up and almost shitting themselves when they saw that huge building just dedicated to snowplows and stuff :lol:

It's not that hard to blow the budget when you only budget for a bag of salt and a dump truck. :lol: Joke...but yep they are saying that here too.

We get that every year too, it hasnt even snowed yet and theyre overbudget or out of stuff for snow removal. We have gotten a lot of snow down here compared to recent years.

Central and upstate NY have some serious snow removal equipment. Get in the way of the plow train and they'll find your buggy in the spring when the snow banks melt. :lol:

One thing I always do is clear the snow from the road on the left side of my driveway ( heading out ). Makes for less plow hump and more importantly, less "ammo" for the snow plow driver to hit my mailbox with AGAIN

Here's my mickey mouse fix from a couple years ago when the new driver thought he could get done quicker if he plowed faster

asshole knocked it off by plowing at 35 mph

I just blow mine into the empty lot across the street :idk:
