I'm the president of our townhouse association board and I can tell you, people are ridiculous about it. Reading some of the comments reminds me of the many calls and emails I get about snow removal and lawn mowing.

Could be wrong, but I heard there might be another arctic blast after February 1st. The good news though is at least it will be February.

I live on a street that runs east/west, with a neighbor's driveway a few feet away to the east. I have no choice but to blow it west, which is almost always straight into the wind, which sucks. I never blow it into the street intentionally.
I was at least amused by the novelty of the record snowfall last week.
But yesterday was disheartening.

Hopefully, the drain doesn't freeze solid and then we get a fast melt/rain. You may end up with waterfront property...or worse.
Hasnt happened in 5 plus years. Its deep enough in the ground the bottom wont freeze, unless we have a month straight of minus temps. The drain tile running from the basin is probably 10-12 inches wide that bastard can handle a lot of moisture.
I would more say it is sad. Imagine thinking beans belong in chili.
"Sunday night through Tuesday, southwest flow aloft will usher warmer temperatures into the region along with moisture and increasing rain chances. Not much has changed with the messaging. Due to expected sub-freezing pavement temperatures and the potential for a wintry mix starting Monday morning, there remains the potential for some freezing rain and icing conditions. This will be better refined in later forecasts as we get closer to the time and may require the issuance of a weather headline.
Tuesday night through Friday, the forecast blend has predominantly rain chances, which are more focused on our SE half of the CWA. Temperatures will be in the 33 to 40 range for highs each day, with some areas remaining above freezing overnight as well. A good deal of snowpack compression and melting will be seen along with the rain. While antecedent unfrozen ground under the snowpack may absorb the rain and snowmelt, some rises on streams, creeks, and tributary rivers are eventually expected along with ponding of water in poor drainage areas. With the rainfall, structures with snow- covered flat roofs will likely see added stress with the increased weight from the rainfall being absorbed into the snow on the roof. Some weaker structures may see their roofs collapse in. There are still some uncertainties with this systems including moisture, timing and track of each system. Stay tuned."

I wouldn't have considered the stress on flat roofs part. Can absolutely see how that would be an issue though. That's a ton of weight if the snow acts like a sponge holding the water in place.
Didn't expect to see a reference to a movie about a dried up lake in a desert in this thread.
