It's Snowing, Mr. Mayor

Yes, today was a holiday. There were less cars on the road during rush hour, but there weren't NO cars on the road.

Say what you will about Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, I'm sure whatever your political leanings you would admit that he absolutely sucks when it comes to keeping city streets passable.

[Cecilia Gilbert, communications manager for Milwaukee's Public Works Department,] said 106 salt trucks will be out tonight and early tomorrow treating the roads with a mixture of salt and calcium chloride. At 10:15 p.m., 115 garbage trucks fitted with plows will head into the neighborhoods to clear streets. Front-end loaders will also be used to clear cul-de-sacs and narrow streets.

"We are in a general plowing mode," Gilbert said.

What's the hurry?

Take your time.

Good grief.
