WARM WEATHER BRINGS SNOW, SLEET, AND SLUSH



Temperatures climbed into the mid 30s this week, bringing snow, sleet, and slush. Since none of the storm sewers seem to work in this town, it also means the return of inland lakes in low lying areas and potholes. Plow crews were out blocking driveways and piling the mess onto sidewalks causing pedestrians to share the road with motorists. Motorists in response to the city’s lane sharing program have been slashing the sludge onto the pedestrians at will and passing dangerously close. Mayor Flood could not be reached for comment.

The guy in yellow looks trepidatious. I can't tell if it's because he sees you taking his picture, notices there's a bear holding a sign a few feet away, or that it's 33 degrees. Perhaps he's contemplating a nice Alaskan Gift from inside Mack's.
