OVERNIGHT
SNOW REMOVAL
OPERATIONS
Don't try to find this on TV or in the newspaper. We're out here live, in 27 degree weather, as Montgomery County vehicles work through the night to remove snow from residential streets.
Never mind that much of this could have been avoided if our elected officials had simply executed the basic functions of government after the first storm. Instead, they forced crews to tackle the accumulation of two blizzards at once, which created the massive piles, walls, and one-lane neighborhood streets we've been dealing with countywide over the last week.
Right now we're focused on the crew hard at work out here at 10:00 PM, not the bumbling politicians who gave them all the wrong directions last week!
The ground is trembling. Stand by! Here they come! One large dump truck. A second. A third. Three dump trucks. Now here comes a large, front loading earth mover. There goes a yellow pickup truck with flashing lights on the roof, and a snow plow attachment.
All set?
No!
Hold on a minute. Okay, here he comes! A tiny Bobcat earth mover makes a late entrance, lagging behind by 30 seconds.
Now the large and small earth movers go to work on the massive snow mountains. They are choreographed in a mechanical ballet, ruling over this windswept, frozen world like father and son.
There goes the snow into the dump truck. Once loaded, it is off to an unknown dumping location, only to return afterward.

Beep. Beep. Beep. The scope of the job countywide is beyond imagination, as these crews work through the night, to try to belatedly right the wrongs of our county council and executive.
This hard-working team only reinforces what could have been done, had our elected officials only done their jobs in executing basic government services, in the county of America's most Draconian taxes.
