First Snow Fall-Out

There were 103 accidents as of 5 pm Sunday including nine with minor injuries and another 53 reported "Vehicles in distress".

Budget cuts have hit Anchorage as sanding and snow removal appear to be non-existent.  The whole town is a skating rink!

******Update 11/4/11.  There were something like 189 accidents including three fatalities when a mother and her two children slid off the Glenn Highway into a lake.

I guess we are so used to living in a very very small place (Island Pond, VT) that when they do plow, they get it all done in one shot.  This city is so big, they can't do it all in one go.  It takes several days to get all the sections plowed, usually just in time for the second storm which is today.  Still seems kinda funny...
