I understand city Public Works bigshot Tom Fisk decided the rate of melting Friday, Jan. 7, was going to solve all our problems with the snow and, therefore, plowing was no longer necessary.

So, is he not capable of reading a weather forecast? Or doesn’t he understand that melting depends on the temperature … which fell again to freezing Saturday and days thereafter?

I have some pictures of the frozen snow ruts on city streets. I’d like to complete the collection with street conditions in front of Tom Fisk’s house…and the houses of ALL city bigshots, for that matter. I have a feeling THEIR places look a little more tidy than ours.
