Mayor Fenty Isn't Taking Any Chances With the Roads

2009_0119_saltedroads.jpg

The National Weather Service has already lifted the Winter Weather Advisory inside the boundaries of the District, with snowfall inside the city limits lighter than expected (only about .25") and dissipating. Still, every major road was pre-salted this morning, and we're certain City Administrator Dan Tangherlini has marching orders to make sure not a single complaint can be lodged about road conditions between this afternoon and The Big Day. This is also the first time the city has even come close to implementing Mayor Fenty's revised snow removal strategy.

The salting of the roads was absolute bullsh*t....now that crap is going to sit around till it rains...because I think we all know that it's going to rain before it ever snows in any sort of accumlating amount...

Yes, it's a waste of money, resources, and terrible for the environment, the road, and our cars. The snow paranoia here is almost as bad as the security paranoia!
