To Berm Or Not To Berm
First, you should know that I've spent some time this past week, snow shovel in hand, trying to keep up with my neighbors' snowblowers and, in one case, tractor-plow. Last night, I spent a half hour removing the slush in the driveway and sidewalk, so the above-freezing temperatures today would dissolve the remaining snow. So you can imagine my chagrine when I opened the garage to leave for work this morning -- and so that the snowplows had created a slushy, deep berm at the beginning of my driveway. Now, match my chagrine with that of a co-worker who lives east of Ramsey & Hanley on one of those streets named after Columbus & his voyage. He was ticked that the plows haven't gotten to him in days.
Question: Would you rather have slushy streets and no berm at the end of your driveway -- or plowed streets and the berm?
