The joys of being a pedestrian in spring…even if its not spring. The sidewalks start to collect melt water during the day which becomes ice overnight. The water is trapped on the sidewalk as it no place to go. Between two walls of snow.
Horrah!

I would have thought that after a hundred and some years of experience clearing snow in this city (Thunder Bay, Port Arthur, Fort William), we would have moved past this. Come up with a road/sidewalk design that would allow for snow melt to drain away from sidewalks. If the sidewalks are covered in ice, walk on the street. They are always clear of ice.
This morning is going to be good.
An hour before sunrise and you have this.
This is very nice.
and soo the day begins
Work continues on the “mistake on the lake”, the net carbon neutral, centrally located waterfront art gallery.
