I agree too with other commenters, that Northern Virginians have unrealistic expectations and unrealistic perceptions of our own "importance". It's hard work, and with a lot of snow, yes it's going to block my driveway. I can deal with it, and when I can't, I'll hire a neighbor kid to deal with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291406004417515855.post-50111459346520496032010-02-22T11:22:33.158-05:002010-02-22T11:22:33.158-05:00we all better get used to being more inconvenience...we all better get used to being more inconvenienced and being less dependant on both the State and Federal Governments. Neither one has the money to do anything. This country was not founded on being a nanny state.

Do you realize that every single person in Virginia complains about VDOT putting the snow back in their driveway? <br /><br />Maybe VDOT should look into 2 other options...Option 1) Do away with snow plows, buy snow blowers and instead of putting a little snow back into your driveway, maybe they could just blow it all over your house. Option 2) Just not push ANY snow in residental areas. That way no-one complains about the snow being pushed back into their driveway. (This would also save millions in dollars in VDOT's budget)<br /><br />Do you realize if VDOT attempted not to push snow into driveways, it would take a month to get a 12 inch snow cleared in a residental area. (I think it would typically melt first so see option #2). <br /><br />My advice to you. Grow up and quit whining like my 4 year old. Either shovel the snow, or call a private plow and have him push your driveway, or drive over it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291406004417515855.post-35110587394161182822010-02-21T20:57:01.600-05:002010-02-21T20:57:01.600-05:00While it can be frustrating to have to remove the ...While it can be frustrating to have to remove the mountains of often frozen snow that the plows leave in the entrance to your driveway or on the sidewalk along the road, where else is there for the snow to go? The plows are trying to clear the road from curb to curb. <br /><br />When we lived in Woodbridge, we shoveled well out into the street from the entrance to our drive. This way, when the plows came through, there wasn't as much snow to (re-)shovel to reopen our drive. We also made it a point to clear the opening to the storm drain near our drive to facilitate draining of snow melt.Roger D.

Unfortunately, people in the DC area are so impatient that they expect to never be inconvenienced by anything, including 30 - 40 inches of blowing and drifting snow. People need to get over themselves!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
