I was looking forward to this, as well, since I'm an odd-sider myself. I also think switching each year makes it more fair for everyone. However, it seems many of the newbies to the city didn't realize they needed to move their cars at all, so several cars were left on the odd side for the weekend (including right in front of our place) so the plows couldn't get remotely close to the curb.
Fortunately the city was out and ticketing, so these residents will hopefully learn before the next storm. Not that I celebrate tickets being handed out, but it's also so so easy to figure out the city's rules so there really isn't an excuse.
And just to head off comments along these lines, I don't know which cars belong to which apartments, so I couldn't have neighborly warned them. I just assume they are newbies since they didn't heed the Mayor's call.
