The Midwest and East Coast have both been
hit by major snow storms this season and undergone some not-so great conditions. So, how would
the average citizen feel to know snowplow drivers were relishing covering their cars
in even more snow?
WBZ in Boston discovered a video on YouTube showing just that -- a
driver identifying himself as Dogg absolutely barking over it.
“Yeah! You wanna find your car -- come see me, I’ll let you know where it is. Maybe.
See you later!”
Seemingly -- the video has since been removed by the user...
But in the rest of what WBZ has -- Dogg continues covering cars, swearing up a storm along the
way.
WBZ reports Dogg worked for a contractor the city of Lowell had hired, and he says he was
simply doing his job: plowing the streets. Their anchors just wondered if he enjoyed
the job a bit too much. And this is one of a couple incidents of questionable snow plowing
this season. An Akron, Ohio, resident posted this video online:
Yep -- it’s a 2 1/2 ton plow truck, barreling down a seemingly snow-free street.
Which had WEWS and the local, John Fankhauser, shaking their heads. Fankhauser said the truck
went up and down his street four times in one day.
FANKHAUSER: “Waste of fuel, waste of wages -- the list can go on as far as why it was
wrong, and it wasn’t just my street. There’s five, six streets I know of people who he
did their streets as well.”
The city’s public works manager said that driver is being “dealt with,” because
there was just no reason for him to be doing what he was doing. And perhaps the capper
in stories of bad snow plowing this season -- a snow plow that got stuck.
The Kansas City Star has this video of a snow plow in Lenexa, Kansas, that got stuck. A
cold, cruel irony.
