I have 16 inches of snow on the street in front of my house.............and it's still snowing.
Already a pickup trick is stuck in the street and no one can get around it.
How much snow is in your neighborhood?
My Suggestions
Everyone should get out there and use whatever equipment you have to dig out our city.
Encourage our school students to help too.
We just finished digging out the pickup truck. The guy ended up being over two hours late for work this morning.
Another neighbor is using his small Toro snow thrower to cut a car's width path on the street.
Forcast as of 9:30 AM

I was standing out on the porch talking with the neighbor while my son started clearing the walk when the mayor of Lowellville told the Street Department that if he saw someone shoveling their drive to go ahead and help them. He was riding around in a front end loader.
My drive was done thanks to the village. ;D
It's good to live in a small village........
We got about 16" of snow, too. I shovelled my sidewalk, but I'm not going to manually clear the street!!! The siewalk was enough to wear me out.
Area cancellations and closures for Saturday

That's one way to get re-elected!
You guys are lucky... we already have over 30 inches of snow - and it's
still snowing outside.
My 4 x 4 controller module went out on my truck - the computer in the truck
now refuses to go into 4 wheel drive mode when I turn the knob on the dash
board.
I could crawl under the truck and use some hand tools to manually lock the
transfer case into 4-wheel low mode, but I'm not gonna cross that bridge
unless it becomes absolutely necessary... UGH !
Here's a couple photos of my yard that I took an hour ago. At least my dog is
having fun - he LOVES snow.
:)
We helped 3 people dig out of our street (McCartney and Rutledge area). A city plow driver was nice enough to stop and help with the third person. And you know what he got for his kindness? Yelled at by some other driver about how if he would have done his job last night they wouldn't be stuck now!!! I am going to call the street department Monday and let them know that we thought it was very good of that plow driver to stop and do what he could! We need more city workers willing to help the residents. We did our sidewalks, the empty house next to us sidewalks and cleared the street around our driveway
I would say we got about 14-16 inches on this side of town.
We had 18" in Austintown.
Oh yeah... Early projections are for 8-12" Tuesday Night into Wednesday. Things can change though, so it may be more or less. :-X

Gee Dennis maybe you could do the same thing in Struthers, Run for Mayor and Promise that you will get everyones drive shoveled out by the city. You shouldn't have to raise taxes too much to do that.
Or you could just insist that all the people who are on disability for their heart get out there and shovel 16 inches of snow. That should really go over well.
Will you ever get a brain?
Smaller Government, yes that would be a good thing. The local government here doesn't tell me how to live my life. We have better services than most. And we have less crime.
Go figure.
Sarge, when will you get a brain and a heart??????
I find it funny that you don't want government to do private services yet you were happy when the village truck
came and plowed you out. Why didn't you hire a private person to do it? Cause you are too cheap to pay for services?
Nice to see a conservative like you being a hypocrite when a public plow on public time and public tax payer's money plows you out, you don't have a problem with it. But if the city plowed out a poor, inner city person you woud be the first to cry foul.....
Go stuff a plow up your @#$

Gee Dennis, I suppose if the mayor lived across the street from you and told the street department to help out anyone they saw clearing their drive you would go ahead and tell them no thank you.
Fact is I have a guy who does my drive on a regular basis whenever we get 4 inches or better. I don't even have to call him. I'm sure he was very busy and was probably relieved when he could get home out of the cold a little bit sooner.
By the way the guy on our street department and the mayor knows that I'm not supposed to be out there in the cold with a shovel in my hand. Some people are just smart.
And I could care less what the City does, as long as it is within the laws of that city. But to help out a disabled person, What is your problem with that again? Because that person is a conservative who doesn't like your green forced down our throat programs?
I bet a plow would fit up your behind rather well.
By the way when the mayor told the street Department to help whoever he saw doing their drive he was out to clear the ends of everyones drive after the plows had come through. Kinda makes sense to take a minute to save your neighbors an hour of work in the cold. But you wouldn't know about that.
So it's ok for government to help out a disabled person but not ok to help out a poor person on welfare?
I'm just trying to gage when a conservative will support government help but when they will oppose it.
You're right sarge, when government shows up at YOUR DOOR offering help, you won't refuse it...but if they help others of different social class or standing, then government is too big and you want it stopped....
Again, you are a hypocrite!
Hey guys... off topic!
Let's talk about the snow here... political debates can be taken to the appropriate
thread(s) where they belong...

There may be help for you Dennis but you'll have to ask for it.
Read it all again and this time without bias. Try it as what it is. A very small village which helped out all its citizens. Without adding taxes, politics, and stupidity into the mix.
whatever, Sarge...
enjoy the snow....what time will the plow truck be by on Wednesday to dig you out?
