Someone from Oswego should head down to DC to help the folks there deal with the snow.

DC Snow Pile - WSJ

The Public Works Department in Washington, DC is having trouble finding anywhere to put the snow.

WSJ:All plows can do here is push snow from one spot to another, displacing it into shoulder-high escarpments, walling off parked cars, confounding pedestrians and blocking drivers’ lines of sight. William Howland has his own plan. In Lot 25, a vacant yard bordered by the Anacostia River, a derelict hospital and a congressional cemetery, Mr. Howland, the head of the D.C. Department of Public Works, is building a snow mountain. Around 15 dump trucks an hour arrive and unload their cargo, a gray-white mass of snow, sand, grit and ice. Earth-movers pile it into an enormous bank that snakes its way around the yard. This is just the start of his 200-truck, round-the-clock operation.

The people of Oswego have a lot of experience moving snow.

    I can’t fing Oswego numbers, but actually, this year the cities in New York State that are usually the snowiest are having somewhat below-average snowfall.

    Lucky us. Then again, we’re only an inch or two below normal average, so it isn’t like we haven’t seen any snow. Plus, we still have a lot of time left.

    I wish this town would get covered in 10′ of snow for ten years and then you and I wouldn’t have to work so hard to stop the madness in Washington!
