Stopthecrazygrowth (filed at 5:32 a.m.): Well, here it is about 20 hours since the snow began and here in Hayden on my street which has existed since the 70s, still no snow plows. About 4-5 years ago we would have been bladed twice by now. You don't suppose it has anything to do with too many new roads and too few dollars to maintain city services ..? I'd be curious to hear from others on this issue - how is your plowing in the last few winters compared to the past. Is our area going to become another Spokane when it comes to street maintenance as we grow our citizenry beyond our infrastructure capacity. Is this yet another example of growth not paying for itself?

Thom George (filed at 8:13 a.m.) : My two block long, subdivision side street was plowed this morning between 7:35 and 8:00; I've lived on this street for 2+ years and that seems to me to be about an "average" time frame from first snow to clearing.

DFO: Thom, consider yourself lucky. I'm on the extreme end of the plow schedule. It generally takes more than two days to get plowed when a bad storm comes in. Sometimes 2 1/2.

Question: How long does it take for the plows to reach your home?
