Hide and seek (any more shoveling samaritans?)

I would be very grateful to anyone who could find the storm drain at the corner of Lesley & Lexington. I spent over an hour hunting for it to no avail. This means that the water that has melted on Lesley Ave is just going to stay there and freeze tonight.

(Why doesn't the city flag the storm drains before winter? Who should I contact to suggest that?)

I recommend wearing ice cleats tomorrow if you're walking; it's not going to be pretty.

I've already warned the man I have an interview with tomorrow I will not be as prettily dressed as I normally would be.
Which means, knee high boots with big stompy (sturdy) heels and not the usual kitten/stilletto heels I usually rock.

You have an interview? What happened to your "dream job"?

she wore kitten/stiletto heels, so they fired her.

I hope it wasn't a job at a vet's!

I salted THE CRAP out of my stretch of sidewalk so that if the melting continues, hopefully there won't be any re-freezing.

Thank you. Many folks will appreciate this. (And now that the rain has stopped, I should take another pass at my corner.)

[on-reserve.livejournal.com]

Haha. You and your corners! :) We had to sacrifice a whole parking space up here just to have a place to put all the snow!

When I dug my neighbor's car out today, there really wasn't much place to put the snow other than behind her car, or across the street behind some other unfortunate soul's car. My building's wall is right against the sidewalk on the Orchard Street side, and I certainly wasn't going to dump the snow on the sidewalk.

Heck, yeah.

There is a storm drain in front of my house and always make sure to clear it completely. But over at the corner, there is a deep, scary lake with nowhere to go and I have no idea where the nearest drain for it might be.

On foot, I think I'd prefer walking on a few inches of ice (with my Get-A-Grips, w00t) than sloshing through inches of slushy salt-watery muck.

Are you the neighbor who stopped by #75 earlier asking for help finding the drain? I'm sorry we weren't more help then, but a couple of us just did another half an hour or so clearing some canals for the water to flow through, and the big puddle at the intersection is much smaller now.

Yes. Glad the canals worked!
