So I was just checking the snow totals up there this season - HOLY CR*P!!! Redfield at 313" ??? That is insane!!
Yes, it is crazy. Someone told me about the WWNY segment where they mentioned the snowfall totals and I thought that they were reading it incorrectly until I actually read it myself.
This is officially Philly's third snowiest winter ever on record. I can't imagine what they'd do if they ever had 313" worth of snow in one season, lol
I had to purchase a pastry item on Sunday and didn't realize the store in DeWitt wasn't set to open until 11 am. I had about 45 minutes to wait so I drove around the east side of the city as well the Connective Corridor and downtown areas. On Saturday night, the eastern suburbs and eastern quadrant of the city received around 2 to 4 inches of snow. The side streets in the residential neighborhoods of DeWitt and Fayetteville were in pretty good shape, however once I hit the city limits, all roads except East Genesee Street were snow covered. Other well traveled roads including a stretch of Euclid Avenue above Nottingham High School and Kimber Road had barely been plowed. The winding roads in the city's upscale Bradford Hills and Scottholm areas where homes generally sell between $150,000 and $400,000 hadn't been plowed at all and were covered with at least 3 inches of snow. Is this typical? I assume the need to remove snow is less urgent when most people don't work and school is not in session like Saturday's, Sunday's, and during holidays, however I was surprised that a large swath of the city's east side hadn't been touched by 10:45 am, more than five hours after the snow stopped falling. This wasn't just limited to Bradford Hills, but other east side streets like Demong Drive and Doll Parkway near Le Moyne College.
I wonder if the city is cutting back on snow removal due to budgetary problems? To be fair, the roads in Fayetteville and DeWitt were not plowed at all on Christmas night (or the night after) despite considerable snow. Once I hit the city limits, they were fine.
