DC City Snow Plow Needs Assistance from the Locals during the 2009 " Blizzard "

I'm from Wisconsin so this "blizzard" of 2009 is nothing to me, but the localities out here just don't have the knowledge, experience, or equipment to deal with this--so naturally it shut down the city (and the Federal Government) for days even after the snow fell. This is in the Shaw neighborhood (NW) at 6th & Q where a DC Gov't snow plow truck got stuck and needed to be dug out. He decided he'd skip that street and go on to the next one. Hahah!

Madison Wisconsin all time 24 hour snow record is 17 inches. The Blizzard of 09 dropped over 20 inches in 24 hours in Philly and equaled that in D.C. And that is nothing compared to the Blizz. of 96 which blows any Wisonsin blizzard out of the water.

Chains!!!!

he has no weight over the rear axle...propably all season tires, Chains (doubles on rear and singles on front) would have helped...but then again ...that would have been too much to ask from an upstanding member of the city tribe...
