Trapped by windrows, woman says
Hard ice covers route to street, exit from garage
Wtf is wrong with people. You own a house. If you can't handle the upkeep, which includes shovelling snow, you shouldn't be owning a home. Unfortunately that's just the facts of life.
The city has been clearing the snow the same way for forever. Back lane windrows don't get cleared. Neither do private sidewalks (which are on the cities boulevard most of the time anyways). The city clears front driveways; and should be doing so on ALL streets, as per policy. So if the windrow isn't getting cleared from your front drive, you should be notifying the City.
Sometimes people forget this is the real world, and you shouldn't expect everything to be given to you. You could be left out in the cold to die if that's any consolation. Be glad you have a home, and live in a time when people don't struggle to survive the winter's.
