Yay for my city that plows the sidewalks before the streets.

BTW if anybody can send me the link to that study, I'll include it in a thank you and encouragement email to the city. To help them stay strong in case there are drivers complaining because they think it should be the streets first.
To those drivers you can reply that to clean the sidewalks before the streets is fundamental, to make enough space to store the snow removed from the street.

@GustavinoBevilacqua seriously! It's an issue here.

Not difficult to understand!
And to pack all the excess of snow on large ships and to send it to Tehran, where soon they must evacuate the town because there is no more water¹, doesn't seem a feasible idea.

@GustavinoBevilacqua
On the other hand, it might be feasible to store snow for use in summer:

BTW, that was made since 1780 BCE in Mesopotamia…

Yay for my city that plows the sidewalks before the streets. I can't find the reference now but there was a good study about the health and safety benefits of prioritizing sidewalks. It's a feminist and anti-ableism issue.

@kimlockhartga little baby snowplows. They're adorable, and sidewalk sized. I'll try to get a picture next time I happen to be outside when they pass.

One baby snow plow, coming right upI think being the sidewalk plow person would be an excellent job, although there’s probably some rivalries with the road plow guys, everyone pushing snow onto the other person's territory.
I wonder if you'd get fired for plowing too much? Like I know places in our area that could use a sidewalk, so maybe just start plowing them on the side. -

Our neighborhood has some streets without sidewalks and I just can't even.

@dillyd @kimlockhartga There's folks without cars that walk the half mile or so to get groceries. The areas they walk get buried under snow and ice by passing plows
