Second warmest December on record
We just had the second warmest December on record, and our snowless winter is disappointing tourists.
More immediately, there’s no snow to hide trash so that some streets are already sporting that post‑winter grubby look. The city says it can’t run street cleaners when it’s below freezing, but it’s looking into ways of keeping cold but snowless streets cleaner.

We could do like zillions of other countries, buy brooms and bins, and hire human street sweepers. (Now give me my $100k consulting fee.)

My neighbourhood has that in the summer but I figured it was people working off parking tickets. I have no idea why the same isn’t done in winter.
