Breaking News Blog Article on Petoskey MI Snow

The Washington Post’s Breaking News Blog had a story on December 31, 2009 titled – D.C. region gets what it pays for when it comes to snow removal (free registration required to read full article).

One December day in a small town very far from Washington, a heck of a lot of snow began to fall. After three days, it was four feet deep. After five days, it was six feet deep. And after one week, the snow was as deep as Shaquille O’Neal is tall.

Then the snow stopped, sidewalks were shoveled, streets were plowed and all in Petoskey, Mich., went about their business. Four days later, when winter vacation ended, the schools reopened on schedule.

Petoskey MI SnowThe article goes on to talk about snow removal in Petoskey, the cost involved and compares Petoskey’s snow removal situation with D.C.’s which was a disaster during the big snow storm that hit that area in December.

Hurray for Petoskey’s snow and the crews that keep our streets cleared and town open for business!

Britain is experiencing its heaviest snowfall in 30 years – airports closed, trains canceled, schools closed, major highways a mess. It’s amazing what problems 16 inches of snow can cause! http://bit.ly/6RdYjP
