The etiquette and punctillio of snow — and where it may go — is on the minds of members at Leaside Community Tuesday. It begins with one woman offering a “friendly reminder” not to throw snow in the street. It might create a hazard and the City doesn’t like it. This bit of advice is met by laughter from some and in one instance simple scorn. A man calls the post “ridiculous.” It is another curious example of the awful reality that when this much snow falls, there is no place for it except in the way. The simplest kind of logic would seem to tell us this but many dream that there is a proper place for snow even when we are buried in it. A place for everything and everything in its place.
It is the city that threatens its citizens with a fine for putting ‘our’ snow on the roadway.
