Letter: Too warm for plowing snow

At my local convenience store on Wednesday, March 13, I observed the front page article about how the snow plowing done by the City of Red Deer has caused some people grief.

At my local convenience store on Wednesday, March 13, I observed the front page article about how the snow plowing done by the City of Red Deer has caused some people grief.

This reminded me of an observation I made a few days ago – probably on the same day – watching the graders and dump trucks removing snow.

It occurred to me that the warm temperatures that had arrived by this point made the snow removal operations completely unnecessary. I mean, why plow snow that is about to melt?

A spurious waste of our tax dollars, no doubt about it.
