Go ahead Ltown_Princess show us your powers. I dare ya! :) Nice demonstration of your awesome abilities!
Snow Plowing
I am just as guilty as the next person who wanted to cut budgets this year. I too succumbed to the easy money by gambling/hoping that it would be a slow weather year again. I requested that a chunk come from that budget line item for Littlestown, but I do have to thank all those people who clear the roads. I may have pointed out the issues with snow removal at a state level, but I still respect and thank those who have to clear it all for our commerse and safety.
Thanks Tim, Scott, Chris, James, Louis, Dave W., and anyone else that helped clear the streets of Littlestown. If I left out a name, the thanks is still the same. I know it isn't over by any means, but you were out there doing your jobs in the worst of it. Never a complaint from me in all the years I have lived here about the job you do to keep the borough streets clear of snow.

The Borough does a pretty good job at snow plowing and removal. Many Townships, however, seem to have too little equipment and/or manpower, in which case there should be a plan in place to use contractors for snow events they are not equipped to handle.
After coming through the square a little earlier there seems to be those who think a flashing yellow means "stop". "At an intersection, a flashing circular yellow means to take extra caution, and watch for traffic on the cross road (which has a flashing red light)."

Hey Cappy: It's the COLTS, so far 10 to 6 at the half. I have a dinner bet with our daughter anywhere within a reasonable distance. Fisherman's Inn will do just fine. Last year it cost me alot of money. My team lost.

I was glad to see something good happen to New Orleans for a change (since the Steelers were out of it). LOL It was a boring game though.

I really didn't care much who won, but was kind of pulling for the Saints. Gotta agree with Nite_Owl about the game being kind of boring. The half time show was one of the better ones, I thought. But then I've always been a Who fan.

Hey folks! Batten down the hatches, here comes another round! For those of you who can, please take your cars off of the streets NOW! I know that's a large order especially without a driveway. The Borough can do a better job plowing if your cars are not at the curb. There are tons of folks who haven't dug their cars out from the last round and now this. Please, please, let someone share your driveway if you have one, help people dig out to get to theirs, share your snow blower, whatever but make it easier to get the town dug out! We don't have tons of equipment and it takes a long time just to try to get the main streets passable. Lets pitch in to help each other get through this trying time!

Charlene,
Great advice. Let's hope people get some community and neighborly spirit--it makes the whole mess a little easier to cope with. Nice pre-snow post.

Thanks to everyone who suggests to help others out. The neighbors on my block don't help each other. But it's good to know that there our some of "US" good folks out there. Bless All of You.
Be safe out there. Don't over do it.
