City of Fargo snow plows
-
But at least all the main streets are plowed. Fargo doesn't even know how to plow main roads.

Explains why both my sisters are pregnant huh...Have fun explaining that situation to either a bodybuilder or an ultimate fighter

^^^^^^^^
Hahaha. Your fucked.X2 on the City of Fargo snow plow crews. First of all they do a terrible job. Second of all, they have no courtesy for other drivers on the road. And third, during the winter when they would plow over night, I'd have to go really fast so I don't get stuck in the 3' drift at the end of my driveway. Ridiculous.
3 things i couldn't live without.........

There is always a drift at the end of the driveways. They do that in the cities too. Just shovel/snowblow or do like I do, throw the explorer in 4 and drive over it.
Think about how hard it is to plow when you can't see the edges of the roads. Its gotta suck for them.
As far as other drivers go, its out responsibility to stay the hell out of their way. They have a job to do and with all the other drivers out there it can be a pain in the ass for them.

All you guys that are bitching should get out your shovels and clean the streets yourselves. The city works hard at cleaning the streets. They have a hard time keeping up due to the rapid growth and being under budget, not to mention keeping all the equipment in working order. So get out there and start shoveling if you think you could do better, would you rather they did nothing at all? Come on, think a little bit before you start complaining, or better yet, be a MAN and take it in stride. Thank you, that is all.

Fargo kicks the ass of other places i've lived w.r.t. snow removal. When seattle gets .5" of snow the town shuts down for a few days.When I was growing up, Louisville, KY got 11" of snow in a day. Town was shut down for a week.
My favorite is when the plows roll through the alley and stack up snow in front of your garage
Maybe because we actually have plows? We are short on them however.

Thank you, that is all.I believe that everyone on here is paying for those plows, and the people to drive them. Now i agree you could go easy on them cuz they do get underfunded and whatnot, but these people pay for it already so why should it be there responsibility to do the work they already paid for. Thank you.

If you paid for someone to work on your car, and they were slow and doing an unsatisfactory job, and you complained about them, should it be your job to do the work you paid for.....I know it isn't an exact comparison, and i agree they could lighten up on them a bit, but it is the same concept. Just my thoughts on it.

My dad runs plow for the City of Fergus Falls, the city doesnt have them work overtime or weekends unless theres a couple feet, they just have 1 or 2 people open the main roads and leave the rest till they dont have to pay overtime. The city back there is a bunch of cheap asses, and basically if it snows on the weekend your screwed till monday at 12am, when the work week starts.

And for those whining about your driveways, if they cleaned every driveway, they'd still be working for the first snowfall of the year, it's just something they cant help.werd. Like I said before, I can't think of a single place where they make sure that your driveway doesn't have a huge ass snowbank

I can't think of one place where they clean off the end of your driveway as well. Get over it you whiny bitches. It would take then 20x as long to clean off your driveway as well.fuggin whiners
Never did I once say they need to come clean off my driveway. Can you please show me where I said that? I said they need the little things that go on the one end of the plow, so that they can put it down while they're plowing in front of a driveway, so they don't put a 2 foot pile of snow there. And for the record I know of a place where they do this exact thing, its in Minot. When I lived w/ my parents there, I watched the snow plows do this MANY MANY times. How hard can that be? Oh no I have to pull a lever every 10 seconds while I drive down some streets.
