City faces shortage of snow truck drivers
The city is dealing with a shortage of truck drivers for snow clearing duty.
In addition, apparently the snow removal budget is all used up, but there will be more snow and it will be dealt with.

Is my count off, or have we only had 3.5 removal operations this season?

You’re right, and the article suggests the city always underestimates the snowfall. This feels like an average winter to me – more ice than usual, but not more snow.

One weird thing about this winter is that I haven’t seen any chenillettes this year, just small front end loaders clearing the sidewalks – which are effective, but a bit wider… 4 fences on my block alone have been taken out by sidewalk clearing this year, and I lost the side mirror on my car.
