We Can Take It

On Thursday night we received between ten and fourteen inches of snow in Minneapolis, varying by the section of the metro area that you live in. As of midnight, it was still coming down quite hard. By 7:30am the next morning the freeways were plowed, the side streets were plowed, and even the alley behind my house was plowed. When I went for a walk at 4:00pm the walking path was plowed and clear. All this was done quietly, efficiently, and without fanfare. It's refreshing to see tax dollars being used with such clear cut results. Too bad it's such a rarity.
