Here we go again! (More snow stuff.)

Are we to assume that there will not be a snow emergency declared since one hasn't been so far? Perhaps, like last time, the emergency happened without enough warning, which is a very silly thing for an emergency to do.

While looking at the city's website to see if they mentioned this, I saw that they'd posted a reminder a few days ago about how residents aren't allowed to reserve parking spaces and chairs, etc. will be declared abandoned property and junked. I'm all for this practice, but I was just wondering if it's ever actually enforced*, as they claim.

*enforced by the city, not by militia-like townspeople

I was on the way to my office recently and noticed that one of the streets in my neighborhood had a lot of chairs and other objects "parked" where cars should be. I called city hall's hotline and the friendly person who answered said they'd be delighted to remove these items. On my way home a few hours later, I noticed that all of the chairs etc were gone. So, I'm guessing they enforced it.

While a few free chairs might have been a nice addition to my kitchen, I didn't have the time to go collect them.

Man, I wish they would do this in Boston.

The trashmen don't even collect the junk in the street on trash day like they're supposed to.
