Impressed by hard work of snow plow drivers

I'm happy and amazed at how much snow plow drivers get done. I live in an older neighborhood with lots of cars on both sides of the streets. The people choose the street over the alley or their rear-facing garages. Why, I don't know. This is year-round, so it's not access because of lots of snow. Most do not switch sides of even and odd, some don't move at all, and some sit all winter in the same spot.

I think the plows maneuver this obstacle course rather well, and if and when cars are moved, the plows go by again and clean what they can. If you don't get a clean street maybe this is why or call the roads department and let them know your street was missed; after all, the drivers are human.

Also, we haven't had big amounts, so the little snows get packed down and are harder to plow. Good job, plow drivers.
